Course summary
Students in this program will develop an understanding of normal immune responses to bacterial, fungal, and viral agents and appreciate the potential pathological outcomes of these responses. They will learn about events that shape the immune response; the general biology of pathogens and the mechanisms by which they cause disease. In addition, basic skills in microbiology, molecular biology and biochemistry will be acquired. Students completing a B.S. degree in immunology and infectious disease will be well prepared for veterinary, medical or other professional schools, Ph.D. graduate training in a wide variety of areas including immunology, microbiology, virology, molecular medicine, animal science, molecular biology and biochemistry or highly competitive jobs as research technicians, laboratory assistants or sales representatives with a pharmaceutical company.
Entry requirement for international students
Penn State does not have a minimum GPA or standardized test score used for admission: it consider a combination of students GPA and standardized test scores, as well as a few other factors. The high school grade-point average (GPA) accounts for approximately two-thirds of the decision. The remaining one-third is based on other factors, which may include standardized test scores, class rank, personal statement and activities list. Secondary records are required for both first-year and transfer applicants. Transcripts of course work and grades are required for four years of secondary school study. If students attend a post-secondary institution outside the United States, it requires official transcripts which include all subjects studied each year and the grade/mark earned in each subject. If students attend a post-secondary institution in the United States, official transcripts should be sent directly from the institution to Penn State. The SAT or ACT is required if students native language is English, or if they are a U.S. citizen or permanent resident. It is optional if their native language is not English and not required if they have completed a year of post-secondary course work. International Students whose native language is not English must submit proof of English language proficiency: A minimum TOEFL score of 80 on the Internet-based TOEFL, 213 on the computer-based exam, or 550 on the paper exam (score reports must be official and cannot be more than two years old); A minimum IELTS score of 6.5 on the academic test; SAT score of 530 or higher on the critical reading or writing section; IGCSE score of A, B, or C on the English language exam, or; IB score of 5 or higher on the English language exam. Applicants who have been in a U.S. college or university and have completed two years of full-time academic course work and have a grade of C (2.0) or higher in a Standard English composition course will also meet the language proficiency requirement.
