Microbiology and Cell Science The curriculum is designed to develop fun- damental knowledge of bacteria, plant and ani- mal cells, and viruses. It provides a background for pursuing graduate work in microbiology, cell biology, or biochemistry as well as other areas of agricultural sciences. It also provides a background necessary for work in research or diagnostic laboratories, both governmental and industrial. The curriculum also provides a back- ground for entry into the professions of den- tistry, medicine and veterinary medicine. Honors: To qualify for graduation with hon- ors, high honors or highest honors, a student must have an upper division grade point aver- age of 3.50, 3.75 and 3.85, respectively.
