Hammond, M.D.** The Department of Bacteriology and Public Health of- ers a major in Bacteriology (including a Medical Technology option) and minor in Bacteriology. Bacteriology Major: Students wishing to complete a major in Bacteriology should take Bacteriology 1, 11, 5 or 170, 160, 161, 162, 175, 190 (3 credits), 191, (1 to 3 credits) and fifteen quarter hours selected from among Bacteriology 50, 120, 150, and 180. In addition to the preceding departmental courses the following classes should be completed: Biology 110 or 111, Genetics 30, Physiology 1 and 11, Zoology 160, or 170, Chemistry 24, 25, 26, 131, 132, 107; Mathematics 14 and 18, Botany 150, Physics 5 (Physics 51 through 56 should be taken if the student plans to continue his education beyond the bachelor's degree). Students applying for the bachelor of science degree in Bacteriology must complete basic and area requirements of the college. Bacteriology Major (Medical Technology option): Students following careers in Medical Technology should take the first three years of college work similar to the above to complete a total of 135 hours of credit. The senior year is spent in an approved hospital School of Medical Technology*** during which time the following courses are taken: Bacteriology 152, 153, 154, 155, 156, 157, 162. In order to become registered as a Medical Technologist with the American Society of Clinical Pathologists, individuals must apply to the Registry of Medical Technologists (A.S.C.P.) and be examined to identify their professional status. Bacteriology Minor—A minimum of twenty-five hours of departmental courses are required for the bacteriology minor. Public Health—Persons wishing to follow careers in Public Health are encouraged to complete the courses outlined for the Bacteriology Major plus Biology 148, Zoology 164, and Sociology 120, 135, and 143.
