Postgraduate options for cancer immunology

I think it would be difficult to find a graduate program that specializes in cancer immunology. I think you would have more luck looking for institutions that offer M.S./PhD programs in Immunology or molecular/cell biology which also have faculty in these programs that specialize in cancer immunology.

Most of these graduate programs in the US have the mentor pick up the cost of tuition as well as pay the graduate students a monthly stipend. If the investigator has poor funding, you may have to TA undergraduate classes which would essentially cover tuition and stipend while you are getting your degree. Because the mentors have to pick up the tuition/stipend, it can be more difficult for international students to find a lab willing to take them as international tuition can be 4-5 times that of in state tuition. The Mentor would have to pick up the international tuition until the international student passes the qualifying exam at which point, tuition drops down to the in state rate (at least this is how this part works in CA).

I did my PhD at UC Davis which has an immunology program and has investigators that do cancer immunology.

Good Luck!
