College Search & Selection

<p>I"ve recently interested in microbiology and thinking of taking it as my major in college. So, do you know any good schools that has strong microbiology curriculum? And an OPTIONAL question: What kind of career you can get in with its degree? I've heard you can get into jobs that are in health science field, though.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Cool! Thanks for answering my questions! That asm.org website was very helpful, indeed. Schools... I don't know I'm good enough for Harvard, but I'll try to keep in mind those are colleges that have good microbiology system. BTW, what's LAC? (I'm guessing it's abberiviation for Liberal Arts College, but is that correct?)</p>

<p>Anybody else?</p>
