Microbiology

University of Washington

The science of microbiology primarily encompasses the realms of bacteria and viruses, but also includes other microbes such as fungi and protozoa. Despite a microscopic size, microorganisms influence the world of humans in monumental ways, ranging from infectious diseases to healthful living, and from food production to waste treatment. Microorganisms also sense and respond to their own world, fending off competitors and promoting their own propagation. Our undergraduate program in Microbiology offers courses that provide an introduction to the microbial world as well as in depth studies of genetics, physiology, infectious disease, diversity, and structure of microorganisms. Nearly all undergraduate microbiology courses satisfy the Natural World (NW) requirement in the Areas of Knowledge component for a bachelors degree at the University of Washington.
