Program Requirements

IHI is a 75-credit program involving the Departments of Biochemistry; Microbiology and Immunology; and Physiology, and incorporates elements from each of these disciplines. Immunology is a key area of biomedical research and is critical to our understanding of the patho-physiology of many immune-mediated diseases. This program provides an excellent foundation for students interested in pursuing a career in biomedical research and/or medicine.

The program consists of 48 required credits of basic science courses,covering cell and molecular biology; microbiology and immunology; biochemistry; and physiology. There are also 27 complementary credits which allow for specialization in immunology and related disciplines. To graduate from IHI, students must have a minimum CGPA of 3.30 and pass five immunology courses (MIMM 214, MIMM 314, MIMM 414, PHGY 419D1 and D2, PHGY 513, and one of BIOC 503, MIMM 509, PHGY 531) with a minimum grade of B.
