ACADEMIC SUCCESS Traditional Student

Traditional Student

What we call traditional students are those who start as freshman at UF and complete their degree usually in 4 years. The first 2 years are mainly filled with pre-requisites to our microbiology classes. Some of our classes can be taken early on which includes Parasitology, Molecular Biology and Human Genomics, they only have biology as pre-requisites. To take most of our other electives you must have taken Microbiology, which you can take after you complete Bio 1+2 and Chem 1+2.

The Bachelor of Science in microbiology and cell science, offered by both the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences (CALS) and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (CLAS), offers you flexibility in a curriculum that develops an excellent knowledge base and an understanding of concepts in microbiology, cell biology and the bio-molecular sciences. Emphasis will be placed on application of the scientific method to gain an understanding of the biological world at the cellular and molecular levels. You will learn to evaluate hypotheses, to interpret experimental data and to communicate results effectively.
