Bachelor of Science in Microbiology with Specialization in Medical Technology

Program Overview

Microbiology is the study of organisms and viruses too small to be seen by the unaided eye. Microbiologists study all aspects of these organisms, including what they are, their lifecycle and metabolic capacity, their distribution in nature, and their relationship to each other and to other living things. Microbial engineering uses our current understanding of these organisms to develop new species with applications in (for example) bioremediation, alternative energy production, or pharmaceutical science.

A microbiology major prepares you to work in many different settings, including in the field sampling ecosystems, in the laboratory, or working for an agency specializing in public health.

Medical Technology
An option in medical technology is earned by completing one required laboratory course, Biology 418 (parasitology), and both MBioS 411 (Diagnostic Medical Bacteriology) and MBioS 430 (Combined Immunology and Virology Laboratory). A minor in medical technology is available.

An additional one-year program in an accredited school of medical technology is required after graduation for those interested in becoming certified medical technologists.

Optional Practical Training or OPT is a period during which students, who have completed their degrees in the USA, are permitted to work for one year on a student visa by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). OPT allows students to work for up to 3 years and develop real-world skills to survive in the competitive jobs market.

It is temporary employment for a period of 12-months that is directly related to the major area of study of an F-1 student. Eligible students have the option to apply for OPT employment authorization before completing their academic studies and/or after completing their academic studies.

A student can participate in three types of Optional Practical Training (OPT):

Pre-Completion OPT: This is temporary employment provided to F-1 students before completion of their course of study.
Post-Completion OPT: This is temporary employment available to F-1 students after completing their course of study.
24 Month STEM Extension: Students enrolled in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) courses can a 24-month extension after their initial Post-Completion OPT authorization.
