BS in Biology - Microscopy Central Michigan University

Program Description

To unlock the deepest mysteries of life, you need to get close to your subject—really close. As a microscopy student, you'll learn to use the latest techniques and equipment to analyze samples at a cellular, and even atomic, level. As a biologist, you'll ask the most basic—and most complex—questions about how organisms live and relate to their environment. In the microscopy concentration, you'll use advanced techniques to understand the mechanisms and processes that govern life. In addition to fundamental laboratory skills, you'll learn techniques to prepare samples and analyze images. You'll also become familiar with laser scanning and electron scanning and transmitting techniques. By the time you graduate, you'll have built a solid foundation in not just biology, but also chemistry and physics. Many students go on to pursue advanced degrees, or start careers in laboratories, pharmaceutical companies and hospitals.
