MICROBIOLOGY
MINOR – 2005-07 Catalog
Biological Sciences Department
Fisher Science Hall (33), Room 273
(805) 756-2788
This
minor is designed to give students from majors in which microbiology may be an
important component increased exposure to factual information, concepts, and
skills in order to provide those students a more complete understanding of the
roles of microorganisms as they pertain to studies in their chosen major. The
emphasis areas of the minor allow students in the allied health and related
fields to expand their breadth of knowledge in microbial diseases, transmission
and prevention, and immunologic responses. Students in applied fields of study
such as Food and Dairy Sciences and various aspects of agriculture can gain
additional information in pertinent topics such as microbial involvement in
water and wastewater treatment; the role of microorganisms in recycling of
nutrients and soil fertility; microbial roles in food processing, spoilage,
production; and disease transmission.
