Parasitology

The graduate program in Parasitology is composed of composed of 6 faculty members with a diverse range of research interests, but the GREG is particularly strong in the study of ecology and evolution of parasitision.

Our goal is to develop broadly trained biologists that have both the conceptual tools and expertise in research design necessary to address fundamental questions.  To meet this goal, our graduate curriculum includes a series of courses for first year students, advanced courses in areas of faculty expertise, active involvement with Cedar Point Biological Field Station, a seminar series that focuses on research design, and a seminar series that focuses on completed research.
