Microbiology with Professional Studies is the study of bacteria, fungi, algae, protozoa and viruses, and is of immense importance in the environment, agriculture and food, biomedical sciences and biotechnology. Graduates in microbiology are therefore highly sought after in these fields. Microbiology is very central to many aspects of the biological sciences, from pure research to diverse industrial, medical and environmental applications.

Explore your scientific passions and customize a path that reflects your goals. Biology at Stephens includes pre-med and pre-vet emphasis areas. Whether you want to be a research scientist or prepare for nursing, veterinary medicine, dental or medical school, Stephens is the place to pursue your dreams.

The Bachelor of Science degree with a joint major in biochemistry and microbiology enables students to acquire superior knowledge about the functioning of life on a microscopic scale and to develop advanced skills in the laboratory.

Students enrolled for this degree will be exposed to a wealth of tools and theoretical information, which can be applied to exploit and control microbial activities for improving industrial and agricultural processes, as well as for improving the lives of animals, humans and plants in the ecosystem.

This concentration is intended for students that plan to pursue a career in Microbiology and Molecular Biology. The overall educational objective of the biological sciences undergraduate program is to provide students with a conceptual foundation in biology and a skills base necessary to build successful careers in industry or business or to succeed in graduate school or professional school.

Microbiology is a diverse discipline that has become an umbrella term for a variety of studies, including bacteriology, mycology, protozoology, phycology, parasitology and virology. In the Environmental Microbiology program at Montana State, students delve into the study of molecular biology, microbial physiology, microbial genetics and environmental microbiology to prepare for careers in the field.

The study of small microorganisms can make a difference on a big scale, including leading to lifesaving innovations. Embrace the unknown. Microbiology is the study of microorganisms and the role they play in human, animal and plant health. This Bachelor of Science offers students a base in modern biology, specifically how microorganisms interact with their surroundings. Coursework includes food safety and consumer health; plant pathology and microbiology; environmental microbiology; microbial genomics and biotechnology; and medical microbiology. Students research microbes such as bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoa and touch on subjects such as bacteriology, parasitology, mycology, immunology and microbial genetics. This program cultivates students' expertise in preparation for highly specialized professions from biotechnology to medical science.

Microbes are exceedingly small organisms. Microbiologists study the biology of organisms so small they require specialized equipment, microscopes, just to visualize them. Microbes are very important for technologies that help us, but are also significant pathogens of humans, livestock, and plants. In this program, you will explore the fundamental biological principles of microorganisms. You will study concepts in evolution, biochemistry, genetics, ecology, physiology, disease and more. You will develop your investigative skills, with hands-on research experiences both in the laboratory and out in the field. The program is excellent preparation for advanced degree programs in biotechnology, medicine, pharmacy, food science, or agriculture.

The Biology Program at CSU Dominguez Hills is designed to provide students with intensive, progressive and balanced learning experiences in cell and molecular biology, organismal biology, population and community biology, and environmental science.

The Biology curriculum is designed to introduce students to the major areas of the biological sciences and enable them to gain competence in using the concepts and investigate methods appropriate to each.

Microbiology is the science that deals with the study of microorganisms and the effects of diseases that microorganisms produce. Microbiology students study the shape, structure (morphology), genetic and metabolic processes that occur in microscopic and sub-microscopic organisms.

The purpose of this module is to introduce microbiology to beginners. It consists of history and scope of microbiology; classification of microorganisms; study of microbial structure: microscopy and specimen preparation; prokaryotic cell structure and function; and eukaryotic cell structure and function.

Our major develops a deeper understanding of life processes. They develop critical thinking and an understanding of the importance of biology to real-world current events. Many of our students find the biology program helps them identify their career interests and prepares them for their future.

This interdisciplinary major is focused on biology and the physical sciences and incorporates a significant amount of mathematics.

Armed with a rich background in the liberal arts and basic sciences, personal research experience, and many hours spent in the laboratory as well as the field, Biology majors at Lenoir-Rhyne have an edge when it comes to postgraduate education and employment. The biology program has high expectations of its students, who are rewarded with the successes that come to those willing to work hard and commit to their education.
