Graduate Study. The Graduate Group in Microbiology
offers study and research leading to the M.S.
and Ph.D. degrees. Strong preference is given to
doctoral applicants. The group offers study in general
microbiology, microbial physiology, microbial
genetics, molecular mechanisms of microbial regulation,
molecular mechanisms of microbial pathogenesis,
immunology, virology, and recombinant DNA
technology. For information on the graduate study
and undergraduate preparation for the program
contact a graduate adviser or the Chairperson of the
Group.

The Major Program
The major in Middle East/South Asia Studies offers
a comparative understanding of the Middle East and
South Asia, regions that have been integrally linked
for centuries by trade, migration, exchange of scientific,
mathematical, political and philosophical
ideas, religion, literature, and art. These regions are
connected in the modern period through similar and
shared experiences of colonial rule, decolonization
and nationalist struggle. Many of the major languages
of the region, such as Arabic, Hindi-Urdu,
Bengali, Persian, Punjabi, and Turkish, have heavily
influenced each other. Religion is a significant force
in the region binding people to sacred geographies,
scripts, and genealogies. As opposed to presentist
approaches which reproduce traditional area studies
defined for strategic geopolitical interests, the
Middle East/South Asia Studies major rethinks area
studies through critical, comparative, historical, and
sociological analyses of global interconnections of
people, products, ideas, and processes. The major
in Middle East/South Asia Studies offers students a
unique opportunity to study exchanges, complementarities,
and correspondences between these regions
in religion, family structures, gender relations,
media, literature and film, history, anthropology,
law, political economy, international relations, development,
urbanism, science and technology,
diaspora studies, and other themes.
Programs, Internships, and Career Alternatives.
Many internship opportunities are available
for the Middle East/South Asia Studies major and
minor, consult with your advisor.
