Curriculum
The graduate degree in Biohazardous Threat Agents & Emerging Infectious Diseases requires a completion of 30 credits with at least a "B" average (3.0 GPA) in order to graduate.
The sample curriculum (shown below) assumes that a student is pursuing the degree full time. Part time option is also available, in which case the curriculum will be distributed over a longer period of study as determined by the student, but not exceeding 3 years.
Other courses may be substituted for the elective courses, but changes will require an approval by the program director, who also serves as the faculty advisor.
