分子生物学微生物学博士学位的要求包括课程工作，参加正式和非正式研讨会，研究资格考试以及博士学位论文。除核心课程外，学生还必须至少完成16个高级学分的学分。分子生物学微生物学提供的专门的选修课程的最新实例包括RNA分子生物学，RNA病毒，致癌基因和肿瘤抑制基因，细胞表面和基质，酵母遗传和细胞生物学以及细菌遗传和致病性。学生还参加正式和非正式的研讨会。每年，学生都会向该部门的成员举办有关他们自己的研究的研讨会。邀请杰出的外部演讲者通过每周的分子生物学微生物学研讨会计划，每月的Lester O. Krampit
The requirements for a PhD degree in Molecular Biology Microbiology include coursework, participation in formal and informal seminars, a research qualifying examination, and the PhD thesis.<br><br>In addition to the core curriculum, students are required to complete a minimum of sixteen additional credit hours of advanced coursework. Recent examples of specialized, elective courses offered by Molecular Biology Microbiology include Molecular Biology of RNA, RNA Viruses, Oncogenes, and Tumor Suppressor Genes, Cell Surfaces and Matrices, Yeast Genetics and Cell Biology, and Bacterial Genetics and Pathogenicity.<br><br>Students also participate in formal and informal seminars. Each year, students present a seminar on their own research to members of the department. Prominent outside speakers are invited to present current research through the weekly Molecular Biology Microbiology seminar program, the monthly Lester O. Krampitz Seminars, and numerous seminars in other departments.
