生物系提供了深造和研究的机会，从而获得了生物学博士学位。细胞和分子生物学专业集中提供了分子微生物学和免疫学方面的专门课程，特别着重于传染病。博士 生物学领域的候选人将被授予对主题具有深刻理解并展示出对专业领域知识做出独特贡献的能力。该课程结构高度结构化，以促进该课程学生在任期间的有效入学。课程顺序如下所示。这种结构化的格式可确保学生高效，及时地进步。该计划是根据五年时间表设计的，但是，有些CMB博士则是。学生在短短四年内完成了课程。
The Department of Biology offers opportunities for advanced study and research leading to the Doctor of Philosophy degree in Biology. The Cell and Molecular Biology concentration offers a specialized track in Molecular Microbiology and Immunology, special emphasis on infectious diseases. The Ph.D. in Biology is awarded to candidates who have displayed an in-depth understanding of the subject matter and demonstrated the ability to make an original contribution to knowledge in their field of specialty. The curriculum is highly structured to facilitate efficient matriculation during a student's tenure in the program. The order of courses is shown below. This structured format ensures that students progress in an efficient and timely manner. The program is designed on the basis of a five-year schedule, however, some CMB Ph.D. students have completed the curriculum in as few as four years.
