DEPARTMENT Microbiology Chain Dr. Craig Oberg Location: Science Lab, Room 302M Telephone: Carrie Minnoch 801-626-6949 Professors: William Lorowitz, Karen Nakaoka, Craig Oberg, Mohammad Sondossi; Associate Professors: Michele Culumber, Matthew Domek Wlicrobiology 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 overall GPA of 2.00 or higher 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).
