Online Master of Science in Microbiology and Immunology Program at Colorado State University
Interested in graduate education in infectious diseases, immunology, and human/animal health?
Students who have completed the Master of Science in Microbiology program have successfully obtained positions in a wide range of industries and career paths, including biotechnology, governmental agencies, public health laboratories, academic research labs, as well as moving into terminal degree programs in veterinary and human health. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of microbiologists was projected to grow by three percent between 2019 and 2029. However, considering the massive economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, job opportunities will likely expand at a much faster pace as both governments and organizations seek to create better safeguards, diagnostic tools, vaccines, and treatments for future disease outbreaks.
