Undergraduate Microbiology

MIC 301 A Fundamentals of Microbiology, LECTURE/LAB,
Introduces principles of microbiology for students of biomedical sciences, biotechnology, medical technology, environmental engineering, and nursing degree programs. Examines the structure and biological functions of microorganisms including bacteria, fungi, viruses, and parasites. Emphasizes the mechanisms by which microorganisms cause diseases in humans. Also includes an immunology unit that introduces the principles and uses of immunology in infectious disease diagnosis and treatment. The laboratory provides hands-on experience in techniques involved in isolation and characterization of microorganisms and includes recitations. Lab registration is chained to the lecture.

MIC 401 Microbiology (6 credits) LEC Covers three major areas of microbiology: bacteriology, virology, and parasitology. The bacteriology component includes bacterial physiology and structure, bacterial metabolism, bacterial genetics and disease processes. The virology section of the course includes principles involved in the nature and biological activities of viruses, as well as virus-host interactions. This includes an in-depth consideration of the life cycle of selected viruses with representatives of the RNA and the DNA viruses. The parasitology section of the course emphasizes unique features of parasite gene expression, metabolism, and adherence and invasion properties. Representatives of both unicellular and multicellular parasites are considered.

MIC 412 Fundamentals of Immunology (4 credits) LECTURES
(If not taken during first year)
Anatomy and function of the immune system, cell interactions, antibody formation, antigen-antibody reactions, cell-mediated immunity, biological effects of immunological reactions.
