Bachelor Science (BS) in Microbiology and Molecular Genetics

Oklahoma State University

Microbiology/cell and molecular genetics are founded on experimentation conducted in research laboratories, hospitals and field studies. Microbiologists study how microorganisms interact with their environment, to harness their power for biotechnology. Cell and molecular biologists investigate cellular processes using genetic and biochemical analyses. Microbiology/cell and molecular biology majors at OSU study how microorganisms and other cells interact with their environment and what processes happen within cells. Understanding microorganisms and other cells can lead to the advances in biotechnology and new strategies to treat diseases. Here, you will work with living organisms that span the spectrum of microbial life and animal cells that contribute to immunological responses. The Department of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics partners with various scholar programs on campus, which provides support for college preparation, connects you to various resources and nurtures your individual academic development.
