Overview
This PhD degree program provides a broad didactic and research experience in Vector Biology and Parasitology. Specific goals for this PhD degree program are to develop independent scholarship, originality, and competence in research, teaching, and professional service. This program is designed for outstanding students with a strong commitment to careers in Vector Biology and/or Parasitology. Within the PhD program, an individualized course of study is designed for each graduate student to meet his or her specific needs. Students will be individually directed with courses selected in consultation with their committee members, but students in the PhD in Vector Biology and Parasitology are generally classified into one of two tracks: Vector Biology track or Medical Parasitology track. Tracks informally indicate emphasis of study area, with the overall goal to provide training and experience necessary for research careers in Vector Biology or Medical Parasitology within the DoD and Public Health Services.
