Jackson; Associate Professors, Lowell S. Adams, Alan E. Stockland. The Department of Microbiology offers curricula to provide students with the best resources for development, whether students will perform after graduation at the technical level or proceed to the supervisory or even the policy-making level. The objective of the Department of Microbiology is to produce useful and effective microbiologists who can contribute technical skills for solving complex problems. Students may complete either a major or minor in Microbiology. The microbiology major is equally as acceptable as others in preparation for medical or dental school. A program emphasizing a career in Public Health is also available in the Department. Half of the approximately 15,000 microbiologists in this coun'ry are presently engaged in general and medical microbiology research in centers, medical schools and universities. More than 4,000 Ph.D. microbiologists must be trained in the next ten years to provide the minimum number of microbiologists needed to fill the new jobs that will come as a result of losses from the profession through death, retirement, and other causes. There will be an increased demand for teachers of microbiology in the 1980's, and there will probably be an even larger increase in the number of microbiologists working for noneducational employers engaged in food production, pest control, waste disposal and other aspects of environmental control, and production of drugs and other chemicals by microbiological techniques. Thus, a larger and larger proportion of microbiologists will be using microbiology for the direct and immediate benefit of mankind. 193 |
