Overall…
These majors will:
•
allow students
to
apply 1
st
year biological science courses
•
create greater flexibility for study abroad or double majors
•
better serve a wide range of career goals by
providing
curricula that give students the
training that
best serves
their
needs
How do you enroll?
Next fall, fill out a change of major form in the MBI office
•
For the new B.S. in Microbiology, it is a degree change
within the major
•
For the revised A.B. in Microbiology, it is a catalog year
change
within the major
