  25. Please briefly explain why it is necessary and/or desirable to add this course: Student feedback and trends in the biomedical sciences indicate that a course is needed at USF that provides in-depth preparation for graduate level research in immunology. Further, this course will support developing departmental programs facilitating t
  26. What is the need or demand for this course? (Indicate if this course is part of a required sequence in the major.) What other programs would this course service? This course will be the primary requirement for PhD students pursuing a concentration in immunology within the Medical Microbiology and Immunology Department. This course also would be appropriate for advanced undergraduate natural science majors with some exposure to the principles and concepts associated with human immunology
  27. Has this course been offered as Selected Topics/Experimental Topics course? If yes, how many times? No
  28. What qualifications for training and/or experience are necessary to teach this course? (List minimum qualifications for the instructor.) PhD in a biomedical science with emphasis on cellular and molecular immunology and immunology research experience
  29. Objectives: In-depth knowledge and appreciation of the mammalian immune system sufficient to begin to address fundamental research questions in medically relevant immunology.
  30. Learning Outcomes: Students will develop a broad knowledge base in immunology and ability to design and critique experimental approaches as evidenced in recent primary scientific literature.
  31. Major Topics: Development and regulation of humoral and cellular immunity, molecular biology of the immune system, and the basis of immune defeciencies and autoimmune diseases.
