Microbiology
This course introduces key microbiological principles, providing a foundation for advanced study in modern biology. Students will explore microbial cell structure and function, as well as the roles of microbes in health, biotechnology, agriculture, and the environment. The course integrates both basic and applied microbiology through lectures and hands-on lab experiences. A central component is an independent research project in which students will apply microbiological techniques to either isolate and characterize microorganisms from natural sources or investigate a novel, student-driven research question involving microbes. (BIOL 0140 and BIOL 0145) 3 hrs. lect./3 hrs. lab.
