Oberg, Mohammad Sondossi; Associate Professor: William Lorowitz; Assistant Professors: Matthew J. Domek, Michde D. Zwolinski IVIicrobiology is the study of microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, algae, fungi, and protozoa) including their structure, metabolism, distribution, and ecological relationships. Knowledge gained by microbiologists leads to a better understanding of molecular-level life processes and to benefidal applications in agriculture, industry, and medicine. The field is expanding, with special emphasis being given to genetic engineering, biotechnology, cell culture, disease and the immune response, production and storage of food, research and devdopment and quality assurance of industrial products, disposal and detoxification of wastes, and the monitoring of environmental quality. Microbiology Major bachelors degree (bs} » Program Prerequisite: Not required. » Minor: Required support courses for the major also satisfy a minor in Chemistry. » Grade Requirements: An average GPA of 2.00 or better in microbiology courses required for this major in addition to an overall GPA of 2.00 or higher. » Credit Hour Requirements: A total of 120 credit hours is required for graduation - a minimum of 71 of these is required within the major. A total of 40 upper division credit hours is required (courses numbered 3000 and above). Advisement All Microbiology students are encouraged to meet with a faculty advisor at least annually for course and program advisement. Call 801-626-6949 for more information or to schedule an appointment. Admissions Requirements Dedare your program of study (see page 17).
