The Microbiology degree at University of South Florida specializes in the study of bacteria and other microbes, primarily at the cell and molecular level, and focuses on disease causing microbes.
The Microbiology core and elective requirements include specialized microbiology courses necessary to qualify for certification by the National Registry of Microbiologists, American Society of Microbiology, and employment in microbiology and related fields.
Many microbiology majors plan to apply to medical or dental school, while others plan careers as professional microbiologists in industry and government. Others become teachers or aspire to graduate training in microbiology.
