Adams, Lee E. Jackson, Alan E. Stockland, Fred J. Stuzenberger. The Department of Microbiology provides instruction in professional and liberal arts curricula for the baccalaureate degree. Students may complete either a major or a minor in Microbiology. A program leading to a career in Public Health is also available in the Department. Departmental Major: Students wishing to complete a major in Microbiology should take the following courses: Microbiology 50, 60, 158, 161, 175, 185, 190 (3 credits), 191 (3 credits) plus an additional twenty hours of upper division departmental courses. Students should complete Chemistry 26, 132 and 133 or 107; Mathematics 14 or 18 or 21 (students planning to enter a graduate school are encouraged to complete Mathematics 54); Physics 5 (Physics 51 through 56 recommended for individuals applying to graduate schools); and Zoology 20. College specific course and general education area requirements should also be completed. Departmental Minor: A minimum of twenty-five hours of departmental courses should be successfully completed, fifteen of which must be upper division classes. Public Health: Persons wishing to follow careers in Public Health are encouraged to take the courses listed for the departmental major as determined by consultation with departmental advisor plus the following: Health Education 110, 195; Sociology 135; and Zoology 148, and 150 or 155. fl.
