Adams; Associate Professor: Stockland; Assistant Professor: Diane S. Home. Alan E. Description — Microbiology 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 beneficial applications in medicine, agriculture, and industry. Education — Because of its interdisciplinary nature the microbiology major program serves as an ideal academic preparation for a variety of careers at the baccalaureate degree level and for entry into several graduate and professional programs, including schools of medicine and dentistry. The microbiology curriculum provides balanced instruction in principles, facts, and laboratory skills. Career Opportunities and Employment Outlook — Microbiology is expected to continue to expand rapidly due to the significance of genetic engineering and the increased needs for the applications of basic research, particularly in the areas of control of disease, production and storage of food, development and quality control of industrial products, disposal of wastes, and the monitoring of environmental quality. Microbiologists who earn advanced degrees may teach in colleges or universities or supervise research programs. Program: Microbiology Major — Bachelor Degree I. General Requirements: A.
