Immunology with a Modern Language
The Bachelor of Science in Immunology with a Modern Language is a four-year full-time program that integrates the study of immunology, the branch of biology concerned with the immune system, with proficiency in a modern language. This program is ideal for students interested in understanding the immune system’s function in health and disease, while also developing fluency in a language such as French, Spanish, or German. Students will study key areas of immunology, including cell-mediated immunity, autoimmune diseases, and immunotherapy, alongside their chosen language.
The program emphasizes both scientific learning and language proficiency, preparing students for careers in biomedical research, international health organizations, or healthcare communication. The language component of the program allows students to engage with global scientific communities and enhance their ability to work in international settings. Graduates will be well-prepared for roles in immunology research, pharmaceutical industries, or global health organizations, where language and scientific expertise are equally valued.
