专业概况

在这里学什么？

Microbiology is the study of organisms and viruses too small to be seen by the unaided eye. Microbiologists study all aspects of these organisms, including what they are, their lifecycle and metabolic capacity, their distribution in nature, and their relationship to each other and to other living things. Microbial engineering uses our current understanding of these organisms to develop new species with applications in (for example) bioremediation, alternative energy production, or pharmaceutical science.

A microbiology major prepares you to work in many different settings, including in the field sampling ecosystems, in the laboratory, or working for an agency specializing in public health.

A subspecialty of microbiology, medical technology, uses microbiological techniques to diagnose diseases and pathologies related to human-microbe interactions. The microbiology major at WSU also offers a specialization track for pre-medicine students.

Strengths of the Program

The prestigious STARS program helps ambitious, high-achieving students get an early start on research and earn their Ph.D. in biochemistry, genetics and cell biology, or microbiology up to two years faster. You can join a math, science, and engineering community residence hall at WSU Pullman—share classes with your neighbors, study together, get free tutoring, and use the hall’s computer lab. Individualize your course of study within the School of Molecular Biosciences. Learn research techniques and operate advanced equipment. Undertake a research project of your own under a noted faculty researcher. Receive a solid foundation in the basic properties of microorganisms in a program that focuses especially on medically related aspects of microbiology.

Facilities and technology

Microbiology students have access to the following outstanding laboratories and facilities:

Equipment for ultracentrifugation, recombinant DNA techniques, HPLC, protein analysis and purification, DNA sequencing and synthesizing, and more Bioanalytical Laboratory Electron Microscopy Center Nuclear Radiation Center X-ray Crystallography Laboratory Owen Science and Engineering Library, the largest of its kind in the Northwest

Careers

Microbiology majors have wide and diverse career opportunities in the life sciences. The biological revolution is opening up new opportunities and linking laboratory science in microbiology to the worlds of business, law, and government.

Careers open to microbiology majors include research and production positions in food, pharmaceutical, water quality and environmental testing, and biotechnology industries; in private or governmental laboratories; and in nonprofit institutions such as clinical and hospital laboratories and institutes.

Graduates are also prepared to pursue advanced degree work in medicine, dentistry, veterinary science, and other fields. Advanced degrees can lead to teaching at the college level or conducting basic or applied research in the government, higher education, or private industry. Others have careers in consulting, management, or administration.
