Undergraduate Research (MIBO 4960-4980R)  
While microbiology research courses can work in the major, they are not required to complete the major. However, we highly encourage students to get involved in undergraduate research. Participating in research can help those interested in applying to graduate school and pre-professional programs become more competitive applicants to their programs of interest. For those who wish to make the B.S. in Microbiology their terminal degree, research can provide a valuable experiential learning opportunity which students will need if they are seeking employment in a science-related field.  Students who are interested in research should click on the Undergraduate Research Guide.

Internship (4970-4980R)
