The major in Biology (Applied Microbiology) is a Bachelor of Science program that includes an in-depth study of biological sciences and their applications. The major starts with foundation classes and laboratories, then builds into advanced courses and laboratories. Students take required courses such as Biological Concepts: Cells Metabolism and Genetics and Biological Concepts: Cells, Metabolism, and Genetics Lab, and Biological Concepts: Evolution, Diversity, and Ecology and Biological Concepts: Evolution, Diversity, and Ecology Lab, plus Professional Aspects of Biology.

Within the Applied Microbiology (BIMI) concentration, students complete core courses in Microbial Biology and Diversity and Microbial Biology and Diversity Lab, Introduction to Molecular and Cell Biology and Introduction to Molecular and Cell Biology Laboratory, Evolution: Theory and Process, Bioinformatics, Pathogenic Microbiology, and Immunology (with options including Food Microbiology and Applied and Environmental Microbiology).
