The undergraduate curriculum in microbiology prepares students for exciting, challenging careers in biotechnology, public health, medical technology, and a broad spectrum of industry, government, and agricultural research laboratories. Microbiology is an excellent curriculum for those intending to apply to graduate schools for further training in any biological/life science, for pre-medical or pre-veterinary programs and for students interested in other health-related professions including dentistry, public health, pharmacy, physician assistant, or physical therapy.

Curriculum plans are intended as advising tools only, not a contract between the student and the university, and are subject to verification by the student's academic advisor and/or department chair. The University of Idaho reserves the right to change, amend, or discontinue any articulation agreement or curriculum plan at any time.
