The microbiology program is an interdisciplinary major providing learning experiences across multiple microbiology disciplines, culminating in a Bachelor of Science degree. This curriculum prepares students for professional opportunities in diverse sectors including food production, clinical labs, biotech firms, pharmaceutical companies, and government organizations like the FDA, USDA, Public Health Service, and EPA. Additionally, it serves as excellent groundwork for advanced studies in academia or professional healthcare fields such as medicine, dentistry, veterinary science, pharmacy, and allied health professions. (Note: Earning a microbiology bachelor's degree doesn't guarantee meeting all prerequisites for professional programs. Prospective applicants should consult their academic advisor to verify they complete all necessary requirements while pursuing their microbiology degree.)
