Program Quick Facts
The thesis Masters in Microbiology, administered by the Texas A&M Department of Biology, involves introduction to laboratory-conducted research and advanced coursework directed towards mycology and bacteriology principles that relate to ecological, medical and industrial contexts. Students who complete the course of study will have practical exposure to experimental techniques that address questions involving free-living and pathogenic microbial systems. These methodologies include statistical, biochemical, genetic/genomic, molecular, and microscopy techniques used for obtaining and organizing data from diverse microbial organisms. The students will also have developed writing and oral skills to effectively communicate new discoveries to fellow scientists and to the general public.
The non-thesis Masters in Microbiology, administered by the Texas A&M Department of Biology, involves intense advanced coursework directed towards mycology and bacteriology principles that relate to ecological, medical and industrial contexts. Students who complete the course of study will obtain an advanced knowledge-base in ecological, cellular, molecular, and genetic attributes that concern free-living and pathogenic microbial systems. The students will also have developed writing skills to effectively communicate current discoveries in microbiology to the general public.
