Hayes, Lee E. 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 country 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 1970s, 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. Departmental MajorStudents wishing to complete a major in Microbiology should take the following courses: Microbiology 205, 255, 305, 325, 405, 415, 480 (3 credits) and 499 (3 credits) plus an additional twenty hours of upper division departmental courses. Students should complete Chemistry 123, 312 and 313 or 307; Mathematics 105 or 106 or 107; and Physics 101. It is recommended that students select one or more upper division courses from other natural science departments which relate to the individual student's departmental major emphasis. College specific course and general education area requirements should also be completed. Students planning to continue their education in graduate, medical or dental schools, should include Chemistry 213, Mathematics 213, Physics 111 through 116, and selected additional courses from the Department of Zoology. Departmental MinorCompletion of twenty-five hours of departmental courses. Microbiology Honors MajorA student desiring to complete the Microbiology Departmental Honors Program should (1) maintain an overall GPA of 3.3; (2) be enrolled in the General Honors Program and complete at least 10 hours of General Honors courses; (3) fulfill the usual requirements for the Microbiology Departmental Major; (4) complete at least 20 credit hours among these requirements in courses taken for Microbiology Honors credit; (5) complete a Microbiology Honors Special Problems Project. A student may receive Microbiology Honors credit in any upper division Microbiology course with the exception 155 |
