4 Years On Campus Bachelors Program

University of California Davis

Program Overview

The trillions of tiny organisms dwelling around us and within us, far too small to be visible to the naked eye, affect our lives in profound ways. Some are vital to the functioning of our bodies or to aspects of our economy such as food production; others cause destructive diseases in humans or in species of special importance to humans. Microbiologists study the structure, function and environmental importance of bacteria, yeasts and other fungi, algae, protozoa and viruses. Advances in microbiology have had great impact in areas such as agriculture, biotechnology, ecology, medicine and veterinary science.
