5 Years On Campus Phd Program

Brigham Young University Provo

Program Overview

Graduate programs in Microbiology and Molecular Biology (MMBIO) emphasize a combination of coursework and laboratory experience with an emphasis on the latter. Students are expected to produce a significant body of original research. Students regularly collaborate on interdisciplinary projects with faculty and students outside of our department. Supporting courses in microbiology and molecular biology may include appropriate courses from various departments in the colleges of Life Sciences, and Physics and Mathematical Sciences. Completion of MMBIO degree programs in the department qualifies students for further graduate study at other universities; employment in educational, industrial, medical, and research institutions; or postdoctoral opportunities leading to careers as research or academic scientists.
