What can I do with a degree in Microbiology?
The job market
remains consistently strong for graduates in microbiology. WSU
graduates have found jobs in biotechnology, in the food and
pharmaceutical industries, in biological testing laboratories, clinical
laboratories and university research laboratories, as well as in
government agencies. During the past 10 years, approximately 40 percent
of our graduates entered medical, dental or graduate schools.
What will I learn?
You will acquire
expertise in general microbiology and its procedures, immunology,
microbial physiology, environmental microbiology and ecology, cell
culture, virology, recombinant DNA techniques and genetics. WSU is the only public university in the state to offer an undergraduate microbiology degree.
Microbiology is quite interdisciplinary, overlapping aspects of several
other academic branches such as botany, zoology, physiology,
immunology, parasitology, biochemistry, genetics, medicine,
pharmacology and medical technology.
Degrees available:
- Bachelor’s degree (major and minor)
Microbiology majors may choose from three emphases: - Biotechnology or Industrial Microbiology
- Public Health
- Microbiology
- BIS emphasis
What is the application process?
Although
there is no application deadline, we encourage you to apply early and
register for classes. Contact the Department of Microbiology for
specific information or to schedule an advisement time.
