A Microbiology major covers the structure, genetics, physiology, and ecology of microorganisms, including bacteriology, virology, immunology, and microbial genetics. Programs build on a strong chemistry sequence (general and organic), biochemistry, genetics, and statistics, and are lab-intensive, with extensive training in aseptic technique, culturing, and microscopy. Common areas of focus include medical microbiology, environmental and industrial microbiology, and microbial genetics or molecular biology.
The major is usually offered as a bachelor's degree and prepares graduates for laboratory and quality-control roles in biotechnology, pharmaceutical, food-safety, environmental, and clinical settings, as well as for medical, dental, and veterinary school. A bachelor's degree is the typical entry-level education for microbiologists, though independent and academic research positions generally require a master's or PhD.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports a 2024 median annual wage of $87,330 for microbiologists, and BLS projects employment of microbiologists to grow 4.1% from 2024 to 2034.
