微生物学学士学位

毕业后，微生物学专业的学生应该对分子，细胞和有机微生物学学科的核心概念有透彻的了解和理解。此外，学生还将熟练掌握所选的实验室技能，并发展有关现代微生物研究的知识。这种知识和经验的背景将使学生为进入专业/研究生院或在政府，学术或工业职位工作做好准备。细菌的生理学，生物化学和遗传学包括细胞的结构，功能，多样性，代谢和代谢遗传学免疫应答和致病微生物，包括体液，细胞介导的和非特异性免疫应答的方面，以及发病机理的分子基础。微生物之间的分类学，生态学和遗传关系，包括养分循环，微生物多样性和微生物微生物的生物技术应用，
Upon graduation, Microbiology majors should have a thorough knowledge and comprehension of the core concepts in the disciplines of molecular, cellular and organismal microbiology. In addition students will exhibit proficiency in selected laboratory skills and develop knowledge of contemporary microbiological research. This background of knowledge and experience will prepare the students for entry into professional/graduate school or for employment in government, academic or industrial positions.The physiology, biochemistry and genetics of bacteria including cell structure, function, diversity, metabolism and the genetics of metabolic regulation.The immune response and disease-causing microorganisms including aspects of the humoral, cell-mediated and non-specific immune responses, as well as molecular bases for pathogenesis.Taxonomic, ecological and genetic relationships among microorganisms including nutrient cycling, microbial diversity and the biotechnological application of microorganisms to solve environmental problems.The scientific method of investigation and hypothesis testing including the development of theoretical and practical skills in the design and execution of experiments.
