International Year One in Science and Engineering Leading to Bachelor of Science in Biology with Concentration in Microbiology (STEM)
Program Overview
International Year One
International Year One allows students to take credited SF State preparation courses alongside additional academic and English language instruction. The vast range of credit courses on offer allows first-year students to both discover new fields and further explore already strong subjects.
Once International Year One is completed, students proceed directly to their second year of degree study at SF State.
Leading to Bachelor of Science in Biology Concentration in Microbiology
Students may select courses emphasizing general microbiology or medical microbiology. The selection of an appropriate program not only prepares students for careers in research, industry, public health, clinical laboratory, or state or federal service but also provides the basis for graduate study in microbiology.
For students interested in applying to Clinical Laboratory Science programs, it is recommended that they complete the B.S. in Biology: Concentration in Microbiology which has been modified to meet most of the requirements for the discontinued Clinical Science degree (Clinical Science Track). Students are strongly recommended to meet with their Microbiology Major Advisor to discuss the specifics of this modified degree.
The department does not permit multiple concentrations within the biology degree program. All of the curricula require preliminary work in physics and chemistry because many important biological concepts are based squarely upon principles in the physical sciences. Also, each curriculum includes upper-division work in the biological sciences so that students will receive reasonable breadth and depth in their degree program. Because of the sequential arrangement of courses students are urged to consult the descriptions for the prerequisites of all their courses.
Although course electives are listed for most of the majors, new electives are always being added to various programs. Therefore, we highly recommend that students seek advisement
