The Bachelor of Arts in Microbiology
Microbiology is the study of bacteria, viruses, the immune system, and their roles in human health, the environment and beyond. Job prospects for microbiologists with a bachelor's or higher degree continue to be strong. Upper-division courses in immunology, bacterial infectious diseases, virology, and microbial genetics couple laboratory courses with lecture courses to provide students with hands-on practical experience. The B.A. Microbiology major includes a choice of three upper-division lecture and laboratory course pairs.
Please use the Bachelor of Arts in Microbiology degree requirement page of the KU Academic Catalog in conjunction with your up-to-date Degree Progress Report (DPR) and please meet regularly with an academic advisor.
