School of Science and Engineering
Atlantic International University
The Master of Bacteriology (MS) program
objective is to help students develop a
strong understanding of the scientific method
and to provide the opportunity to obtain
superior training in microbiology. The Master
of Bacteriology 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 Master of Bacteriology 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.
Important: Below is an example of the topics
or areas you may develop and work on during
your studies. By no means is it a complete
or required list as AIU programs do not
follow a standardized curriculum. It is
meant solely as a reference point and example.

Career
Center Master of Bacteriology
Job Description
Master of Bacteriology
The basic job of a bacteriologist is to
conduct research and observe the qualities,
growth and composition of scientific microorganisms
such as bacteria, fungi and parasites. Bacteriologists
are scientists who provide insight for the
diagnosis, prevention and treatment of bacterial
infections in animals, plants and humans.
Their careful research gathers information
on how diseases are caused by these tiny
organisms and how they behave as diseases
progress. Bacteriologists also research
how bacteria and other microorganisms react
to change and substances such as vitamins,
antibiotics, alcohol and sugar. Some conduct
studies on what organisms can break down
pollutants in food, water and the environment.
Others develop vaccines, antibiotics and
antiserums.
Skills Required
for an Bacteriology
A person considering a career in bacteriology
should have a great interest in performing
intricate scientific research. Because a bacteriologist's
specimens are so minute, it is important to
be able to pay close attention to detail and
be reliable and careful enough to avoid any
outside contamination which could affect the
validity of the results. Work must be performed
with impeccable organizational skills, patience,
persistence, precision and total regard for
safety. Bacteriologists must be able to work
well under the stress of long hours and strict
deadlines.
