About Microbiology Concentration in Ball State University

Microorganisms are a vital part of every aspect of life on our planet. They are everywhere, and yet they are far too small to see with the human eye. It is only through the development of the field of microbiology that we have learned how to study microorganisms to advance health initiatives across the world.

As a microbiology student at Ball State, you will study bacteria, archaea, viruses, fungi, algae, and other microbes in classroom and laboratory settings. You will also learn about microorganisms in a medical context by studying topics like pathology, immunology, and medical mycology.

Our program prepares graduates to seek out careers in the vital microbiology, medical and biotechnology industries, and your education serves as a prerequisite for admission into graduate school, medical school or other health professions programs to study these topics at a deeper level.
