Studying Small Things with a BIG Impact

A Microbiology degree prepares you to find a job directly out of college working in industry, government or academia. A degree in Microbiology meets requirements for graduate programs and fully prepares you for Medical or Veterinary school. 

Our mission in the Microbiology Undergraduate Program is to instill a comprehensive understanding of microbiology and cultivate the concepts and skills necessary to succeed in microbiology-related careers.
