Graduate

The masters level graduate programs of the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine offer considerable flexibility to accommodate students with various backgrounds and career interests.

• M.S laboratory science 
• M.S experimental pathology 
• M.S pathologists' assistant 

The laboratory science and experimental pathology tracks are research-based master's programs while the pathologists' assistant track is a non-research based program designed for educating pathologists' assistants.

A research-based Ph.D. program is offered. The route for entry into PhD studies is through the Indiana University School of Medicine BioMedical Gateway (IBMG) program.  This is a gateway into all of the Indiana University School of Medicine Graduate Division PhD programs.  Admitted students take a common curriculum of didactic courses and rotate in various research laboratories.  Selection of a research laboratory at the end of the first academic year determines the student's degree department.
