Check List for the B.S. in Microbiology:  Emphasis Advisor: Dr. Anca Segall, LS-416, email: asegall@sunstroke.sdsu.edu CLICK HERE for printer friendly version: (Use this as a worksheet. Refer to your catalog for official requirements.)

In addition to a B.S. in microbiology, the department offers an emphasis in clinical laboratory science and public health microbiology. This program is a State of California approved program of study which prepares students for Public Health Microbiologist and Clinical Laboratory Technologist academic certification and licensing examination. Students interested in this emphasis should check with the emphasis adviser before beginning coursework regarding the availability of required internships and other considerations. (revised 4/12/03)

The Biology and Microbiology majors are designated as impacted majors. All students who are admitted to SDSU and want to declare a biology major are placed in the Biology or Microbiology premajor. All premajors must meet department-specific criteria in order to declare a major, such as a specified minimum grade point average, completion of preparation for the major course requirements with qualifying grades, and satisfaction of the lower-division writing competency requirement. Students may not elect credit/no credit grading for course work needed to satisfy preparation for the major requirements.

Students should refer to the year in which they declared a major for official requirements. Visit www.sdsu.edu/impactedmajors for more information.

Required courses (31-32 units for B.S.; 27 units indicted by * for the B.A.):

Elective courses (4-5 units for B.S.) must be selected from the following courses:
