Academic Mission
The Department of Cell Biology, Microbiology and Molecular Biology (CMMB) has responsibility
for the education of undergraduate students in core cell biology, molecular biology,
genetics and microbiology topics as well as more specialized areas that require
detailed knowledge of these subjects. To accomplish this mission, CMMB offers curricula
that will lead to Bachelor of Science degrees in Biology and Microbiology. Courses
are designed to meet the needs to students majoring in other science disciplines
as well as non-science areas. The CMMB faculty are dedicated to excellence in this
mission.
The CMMB offers the B.S. degree in Biology jointly with the Department of Integrative
Biology. CMMB also offers the B.S. degree in Microbiology. Both of these degrees
prepare students for careers in biology and microbiology related fields. These degrees
also prepare students for further graduate training in biology, biomedicine, biotechnology
and health related professions such as medical and dental school.
