UA Microbiology: Diverse and Cutting-edge
The UA program conveys the excitement of microbiology today - a rapidly evolving, cutting-edge discipline - and provides a well-rounded microbiology education covering bacteriology, parasitology, mycology, immunology, virology, microbial physiology, and microbial genetics.
Program Courses are also designed to fulfill medical and graduate school prerequisites. Instructors are accomplished scientists with first-hand experience doing cutting-edge microbiology research.
As a result, undergraduate research opportunities are available in many Faculty research laboratories, and offer valuable and unique opportunities to work one-on-one with well known scientists on microbiological research (like the students pictured to the right are doing).
Motivated research-minded students can also participate in the undergraduate Microbiology Honors Research Program.
