Our graduates in microbiology/molecular biology are prepared for exciting careers in the expanding medical, clinical, pharmaceutical, biotechnological, molecular and health industries. Students are also prepared for advanced study in specialized graduate science, health and medical programs.

A range of classroom, laboratory and independent research experiences allow students to learn by lecture as well as perform the most current research techniques. Other compelling courses offer students a broad-based understanding of science and its role in society.

A required two-semester undergraduate seminar/research experience performed with faculty in research laboratories allows the student to develop the expertise and experience to be successful in beginning a career or in graduate study. The results are offered by students at formal presentations, many at professional scientific meetings.

Internships and part-time work experiences are available for some juniors and seniors in area government labs and major pharmaceutical or biotechnology companies.
