Programs: Microbiological sciences

Microbiology covers a wide spectrum of specialized interest areas in human and animal health; food, energy and water security; the environment; and biotechnology. Technological innovations have made microbiology one of the fastest moving and important scientific disciplines in the 21st century, impacting virtually all other scientific disciplines.

Our faculty offer expertise in nearly all areas of microbiological study and take part in active research programs in their fields. The well-rounded faculty engage routinely in internal and external collaborations at the local, state and federal levels, as well as with private industry. In addition, our faculty contribute regularly to a rich and innovative body of peer-reviewed research, publishing in internationally renowned journals and speaking at conferences around the world. They also provide mentoring experiences at all levels of study, with opportunities for students to take part in cutting-edge research in nationally-funded laboratories.

The NDSU microbiological sciences program empowers students to discover and communicate microbiological solutions to local, national and global challenges.

Our students find careers in a range of industries, including health sciences, biomedical industries, biotechnology, agricultural biosystems, food industries, pharmaceutical industries and government agencies. The relevance of microbiology to many fields only continues to grow and graduates with a background in microbiology can look forward to employment as teachers, professors, public health professionals, researchers, veterinarians and many other positions.
