Miami Microbiology Undergraduate Programs

The Microbiology B.S. and A.B. Majors prepare students for careers in almost any field in medicine and biology. The curriculum provides opportunities to specialize in a variety of areas, including Biomedical Science, Microbial Ecology, Genetics & Bioinformatics, and Cellular & Molecular Biology. Our degree options provide an excellent foundation for careers in microbiology, yet allow students to select courses that complement their interests

The Medical Laboratory Science Major leads to a B.S. Degree. It includes a one-year (senior-level) clinical lab practicum in which students apply scientific background and skills to the performance and supervision of an expanding range of complex lab diagnostic and research activities. A variety of program options for degrees and clinical internships are available within the Medical Laboratory Science Major

The Molecular Biology Minor is offered cooperatively by the Departments of Botany, Chemistry and Biochemistry, Microbiology, and Zoology, and enables students to pursue in depth a multidisciplinary study of biological phenomena at the molecular level. It provides a strong foundation for students planning careers in biotechnology industries or advanced work at the graduate level

Our Undergraduate Advising webpage provides connections to the departmental advisors, and includes information about career opportunities, pre-medical/pre-health considerations, and much, much more...

Our Undergraduate Research webpage includes information about undergraduate research opportunities and grant deadlines

The Mallory-Wilson Center for Healthcare Education provides detailed advice for premedical students with the hope of helping MU students achieve their goal of entering a health profession

The Environmental Science Co-major emphasizes earth science and life science approaches to understanding environmental patterns and processes. If you are primarily interested in biological and physical science specializations, such as zoology or other life and earth sciences, this co-major complements your major especially well

University Honors Program supports and provides opportunities for academically motivated students who want a highly challenging and intellectually enriched learning environment

Microbiology Club is a student-run, faculty-sponsored club created to promote student interest and development in microbiology, and to advance scientific knowledge through personal associations and the interchange of ideas, all while still having fun
