The Bachelor of Microbiology (BS) program
provides students with knowledge in the
basic sciences which are essential to microbiology
and to the application of science to issues
in the modern world. Opportunities for students
with a degree in Microbiology should be
prepare them to enter into the professional
community as a microbiologist, or to pursue
an advanced degree. The Bachelor of Microbiology
(BS) program is offered online via distance
learning. After evaluating both academic
record and life experience, AIU staff working
in conjunction with Faculty and Academic
Advisors will assist students in setting
up a custom-made program, designed on an
individual basis. This flexibility to meet
student needs is seldom found in other distance
learning programs. Our online program does
not require all students to take the same
subjects/courses, use the same books, or
learning materials. Instead, the online
Bachelor of Microbiology (BS) curriculum
is designed individually by the student
and academic advisor. It specifically addresses
strengths and weaknesses with respect to
market opportunities in the student’s
major and intended field of work. Understanding
that industry and geographic factors should
influence the content of the curriculum
instead of a standardized one-fits-all design
is the hallmark of AIU’s unique approach
to adult education. This philosophy addresses
the dynamic and constantly changing environment
of working professionals by helping adult
students in reaching their professional
and personal goals within the scope of the
degree program.

Career
Center Bachelor of Microbiology
Job Description
Bachelors in Microbiology
Many microbiologists work for universities,
where they teach and do research. Others work
at medical centers or in private industry.
Some work for government agencies. Although
their jobs have different aspects and responsibilities,
most microbiologists do some research or laboratory
work. They use special equipment to study
microorganisms including light microscopes,
electron microscopes, centrifuges, glass tubes,
slides, and computers. They are often assisted
by biological technicians. Microbiologists
are also employed in the related field of
public health. They work to combat problems
such as outbreaks of epidemics, food poisoning,
and the pollution of air and water.
