Microbiology is an interdisciplinary science, overlapping aspects of several other academic branches such as chemistry, botany, zoology, physiology, genetics, medicine, nutrition and environmental science.”
Weber State University Microbiology Program
“As a Chemistry student, you study the composition, structure, and properties of substances, learn how they interact, see the transformations they undergo and discover how to put all of this information to good use. You learn the composition of matter and how elements combine to form compounds. You will also use instrumentation to determine molecular properties to help you identify substances and to predict how reactions will produce new and useful compounds.”
