  1. Department of Microbiology New Bachelor of Scienceand Revised Bachelor of Artseffective Fall semester, 2011

  2. Designed for student choice • A.B. degree has been revised to be more flexible and provide disciplinary breadth (32 hours) • a set of core courses • focus groups from which students choose electives to provide breadth(health-related, non-health related and advanced fundamentals) • serves pre-professionals and students desiring entry-level positions as microbiologists • B.S. degree has been designed to provide depth of study and a research emphasis (40 hours) • a larger set of core courses • focus groups from which students choose electives to provide depth(lecture/lab courses, research, additional disciplinary courses) • an additional semester of math • serves students who will pursue graduate study and research careers

  19. Overall… These majors will: • allow students to apply 1st year biological science courses • create greater flexibility for study abroad or double majors • better serve a wide range of career goals by providing curricula that give students the training that best serves their needs

  20. How do you enroll? Next fall, fill out a change of major form in the MBI office • For the new B.S. in Microbiology, it is a degree change within the major • For the revised A.B. in Microbiology, it is a catalog year change within the major (latest catalog year – 2012)
