Microbiology The Microbiology major is designed to prepare students for graduate studies and for professional careers in a variety of health-related programs. The specialization in Microbiology can provide the basic background for work in medical technology, or for further training in public health or other health-related specialties. The program is also designed to provide a foundation for graduate studies in microbiology, virology, and a variety of allied fields as well as for medical and dental school.
