<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>Microbiology has been my passion for years. I would really like to major in either microbio or bacteriology, but I'm not sure which schools are best for that. Microbiology isn't very sought after, apparently, and I haven't been able to get reliable information. Suggestions, anyone?</p>

<p>Thanks for the reply!
I’m sorry if I didn’t specify, but I am currently I a high school student. I want to major in microbio for undergrad.</p>
<p>Guys? Does anyone have valid info about this?</p>
<p>If the grad programs are very good so are the undergrad. Same place and profs. More access to top researchers.</p>
<p>If you goal is to find a job in the field (as opposed to Medical School), you will need at least a Masters and most likely a PhD for anything paying a reasonable salary. Having said that, get your BS at the most cost-effective school and save your money for grad school…(BS Microbiology Purdue '83)</p>
<p>If you are not fully funded for a grad science program they don’t really want you.</p>
