Undergraduate Foundation Program + Bachelor of Science - Microbiology

Undergraduate Foundation Program WSU’s Undergraduate Foundation program provides additional academic and/or English language support and personalized advising to help students smoothly transition to full university study. Students are unconditionally admitted to the university and graduate in the same amount of time as direct-entry students – they are just provided with additional support courses. Bachelor of Science - Microbiology Microbiology is the study of organisms and viruses too small to be seen by the unaided eye. Microbiologists study all aspects of these organisms, including what they are, their lifecycle and metabolic capacity, their distribution in nature, and their relationship to each other and to other living things. Microbial engineering uses the current understanding of these organisms to develop new species with applications in (for example) bioremediation, alternative energy production, or pharmaceutical science. A microbiology major prepares students to work in many different settings, including in the field sampling ecosystems, in the laboratory, or working for an agency specializing in public health.
