Welcome to the Microbiology program at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. We offer an undergraduate major in microbiology, and graduate degrees with a specialization in microbiology are available through several departments.

Here at UNL, there are many faculty members who are doing research in microbiology-related areas. The University's investment in scientific research has been steadily expanding, and our new Innovation Campus public/private technology development park will further enhance research opportunities.

Rewarding careers are available in a variety of venues, including pharmaceutical, health, and industrial research laboratories, and in the fields of medicine, government, education, agriculture, and the environment.

We invite you to look at what we have to offer, and consider the opportunities available for you and your future.
