Bachelor of Science in Microbiology

University of Idaho

Microbiologists study the biology of organisms so small they require specialized equipment - microscopes - just to visualize them. Microbes are essential in helpful technologies, but they can also cause diseases in humans, animals and plants. In this program, you will explore the fundamental biological principles of microorganisms. You will study concepts in evolution, biochemistry, genetics, ecology, physiology, disease and more. You will develop your investigative skills through hands-on research experiences in the laboratory and in the field. The program is excellent preparation for advanced degree programs in biotechnology, medicine, pharmacy, food science or agriculture.
