美国爱荷华大学微生物学理科硕士课程旨在帮助学生有资格从事微生物学研究和教学以及进一步追求博士学位学习。 学习美国爱荷华大学微生物学理科硕士课程的研究生有六个分支学科可供研究：病原细菌学，微生物遗传学，免疫学，微生物生理学，动物病毒学，生物信息学；很多领域都涉及了跨学科训练，因此学生在学习过程中可以获得广泛的经验。 Graduate study in microbiology is designed to help students become highly qualified in microbiology research and teaching. Admitted graduate students usually pursue the Ph.D. Graduate study is offered in six subdisciplines: pathogenic bacteriology, microbial genetics, immunology, microbial physiology, animal virology, and bioinformatics. Several areas involve interdisciplinary training both within and outside the department, so students gain broad experience during their course of study. Students also may pursue interdisciplinary Ph.D. programs in genetics, immunology, and molecular and cellular biology. During their first year, students rotate in up to three laboratories of their choice and are advised by the Graduate Student Advisory Committee. At the end of March of the first year, they choose a research supervisor who chairs their advisory committee. The committee provides intellectual and research guidance for the student's training. The Department of Microbiology cooperates with other University of Iowa departments to give students ample access to diverse course offerings, seminars, and research programs. For example, microbiology students may participate in courses and seminars in immunology, genetics, molecular and cellular biology, biocatalysis/biotechnology, and electron microscopy. All students admitted to advanced degree programs are expected to assist in departmental teaching.

美国爱荷华大学微生物学理科硕士课程入学要求： 学术要求： 大学本科毕业，拥有学士学位，GPA不低于3分。 语言要求：雅思总分不低于7分，单科不低于6分；托福总分不低于81分。 Three letters of recommendation official academic records/transcripts a Financial Statement. Minimum TOEFL Score Requirements for Graduate College Admission TOEFL scores must be reported to the university directly from the Educational Testing Service (ETS), which administers the TOEFL. The university's institution code for the TOEFL is 6681. Admission to the Graduate College, which confers the majority of degree programs at Iowa, requires: a score of 550 or higher on the paper-based (PBT) version of the test, or a score of 81 or higher on the Internet-based version of the test (iBT). Newly admitted graduate students who present TOEFL scores below 600 on the PBT or below 100 on the IBT will be required to complete an English Proficiency Evaluation on campus before their first registration for classes. There is no conditional admission for graduate students whose TOEFL scores are below 550 on the PBT or below 81 on the IBT. Students may be required to complete English as a Second Language course work (typically within the first year of study) if specified as a result of the English Proficiency Evaluation. Minimum IELTS Score Requirements for Graduate College Admission As an alternative to taking the TOEFL, students may take the International English Language Testing System (IELTS). Admission to the Graduate College requires a total IELTS score of 7.0, with no subscore less than 6.0. In addition, all IELTS test takers—regardless of score—will be required to take an on-campus English Proficiency Evaluation. 美国爱荷华大学微生物学理科硕士课程申请材料： 毕业证、学位证扫描件； 成绩单（在校成绩、语言成绩）； 个人陈述； 银行存款证明； 翻译件（所有中文申请材料的翻译件，并加盖公章）； 3封推荐信
