Overview
Students who have a BS with at least 30 science credits can earn a graduate certificate to gain mastery of the technical and analytical skills in Microbiology.
Microbiologists culture, isolate and diagnose bacteria, parasites and viruses to identify the cause of disease and the best course of treatment. The role of the microbiologist has become increasingly important in identifying and neutralizing potential biological attack agents, as organisms develop resistance to the drugs used to treat disease.
