This is an interactive course taught as a seminar (workshops, discussions, and guest presentations). This course aims to optimize student success and increase students' sense of belonging in the major by describing how to successfully move through the Microbiology curriculum, discussing the varied careers in Microbiology, and addressing issues pertaining to identifying as a scientist and Microbiologist. This course is intended for newly declared Microbiology majors (i.e. second semester first year or second year students).

This lab course will cover basic concepts of microbiology with an emphasis on sterile technique, microscopy, isolation and cultivation of microorganisms. Identification of pathogenic organisms, antibiotic susceptibility testing, how pathogens are spread and the detection of microbes in food will be covered. This is a 2 credit course for NON-MAJORS. It is geared for students applying to post-graduate health care programs (physician assistant, nurse practitioner, pharmacy, etc.).
