 A major in Microbiology and Cell Science
requires course background in biology (BSC 2010C,
2011C or equivalent), general chemistry (through
CHM 2046, 2046L), organic chemistry (CHM 3210,
3211, 3211L), analytical chemistry (CHM 3120, 3120L)
physics (PHY 3053, 3054, 3055L, 3056L) and calculus
(MAC 3311). Major requirements include BCH 4024,
MCB 3020C, MCB 4303, MCB 4403, PCB 5235, and at
least 7 credits of additional junior and senior level
departmental electives, for a total of 25 credits. One
advanced laboratory course is required. The 7 credits
may include up to 3 credits from the following courses:
EES 6135, FOS 4222C, SOS 5303C, CHM 3400 or CHM
4411. Undergraduate Research, MCB 4905 is not
acceptable toward the total 25 credits required. A
course in physical chemistry is recommended for stu-
dents anticipating later work toward a research gradu-
ate degree. All prospective majors are advised to com-
plete both the physics and chemistry requirements by
the end of their sophomore year. Organic chemistry
(CHM 3210 or equivalent) is a prerequisite for the first
course (MCB 3020C) in the Microbiology and Cell
Science program. Undergraduate majors are required
to have their major program approved by an under-
graduate adviser from the department. For initial
advisement, a student should go to the departmental
office to be assigned an undergraduate advisor.
