Description:
Our interdisciplinary Ph.D. Program provides a broad curriculum designed to
take advantage of blurring of boundaries between academic disciplines, to
include training in the classes of pathogenic organisms and the mechanisms
of infectious diseases as well as the immunology, the pathology, and the
epidemiology of infectious diseases. We feel this exciting approach will
enhance your Ph.D. credentials and will make you more marketable in an
increasingly complex scientific world, regardless of whether you choose
academia or industry (or numerous other professional opportunities).
The establishment of this Program at USU formally recognizes the breadth
of disciplines spanned by Emerging Infectious Diseases and the extent to
which advances in these areas can affect the current and future health of
individuals within the United States and also in the global arena. This
situation is particularly critical and important given the recent events of
bioterrorism in this country. As part of the EID Program, courses on the
agents and effects of bioterrorism are offered. To date, this Program is one
of the only Graduate Programs in the country to offer formal training in
this critical area.
The EID academic program has an interdisciplinary core curriculum which
is taken by all students and three academic tracks which involve advanced
graduate courses and areas of research specialization that include
Microbiology and Immunology, Pathology, and Preventive
Medicine/Parasitology. Our strong research programs are broadly-based and
emphasize these academic areas. We are also lucky enough to be directly
across the street from the National Institutes of Health. This proximity to
some of the best basic science and clinical research in the United States
enhances the academic experience of all our students (and faculty too!).
