Microbiology is the study of organisms so small that they must be viewed with a microscope. These organisms include bacteria, yeasts, molds, protozoa and viruses. Microbiology is one of the fastest growing areas of science. The concentration in microbiology is designed to furnish necessary experience in academic and practical skills to prepare graduates for immediate entry into the job market or for continuing graduate education in pure or applied biological sciences. Graduates with a concentration in microbiology find positions in the areas of medical, agricultural, food, industrial, or pharmaceutical microbiology. In addition, many microbiologists pursue careers in environmental microbiology and bioremediation. Other students become teachers, science writers, technical librarians, or managers of scientific companies. The microbiology concentration also provides an excellent background for students who plan to enter medical school, veterinary school or other health science graduate programs.
Students wishing to emphasize study in this area elect to major in biological sciences with a concentration in microbiology. See the description of the biological sciences major, microbiology concentration for requirements.
VolsTeach
Students pursuing a B.S. degree in the Department of Microbiology are eligible to participate in the University’s VolsTeach program (http://volsteach.utk.edu/), which permits students to simultaneously complete a major in mathematics or science and receive secondary education teaching licensure within the 4-year undergraduate degree program through completion of a VolsTeach minor. For more information about VolsTeach, including advising associated with teaching licensure requirements, contact the Center for Enhancing Education in Mathematics and Science (100 Greve Hall).
