Administration
- As Associate Department Head for Undergraduate Education, I am responsible for the day-to-day management and long-term planning for the undergraduate microbiology program. Colorado State University is the only educational institution in Colorado that offers an undergraduate degree in microbiology. Our undergraduate program is robust, with 250-300 majors enrolled each year; however, it is still small enough that faculty and staff can provide microbiology majors with individual attention and personal service. In addition to completing a rigorous curriculum, many of our undergraduates obtain experience working in a research laboratory. Students are currently working in laboratories on the main campus, at the Arthropod-Borne and Infectious Diseases Laboratory and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, both located on the Foothills Campus, and at the Veterinary Teaching Hospital. A degree in microbiology is good preparation for admission into a medical and veterinary program or graduate school, or for employment immediately after graduation in research, biotechnology, and industry.
