The minor in Clinical Microbiology gives you the option to pick just that one area of clinical laboratory science, if it interests you. The graduate of the entire clinical laboratory science program is called a "generalist" and can practice in the areas of clinical biochemistry, hematology, transfusion services, immunology and clinical microbiology. The Clinical Microbiology minor allows study in clinical microbiology, without taking all of the program courses. It includes general principles of human physiology and clinical laboratory operation as well as microbiology topics such as human bacterial, viral, fungal and parasitic pathogens, diagnostic specimens, microbial identification techniques, diagnostic immunology, etc. You can complete the minor by taking courses offered on campus.

Pre-requisites include a general microbiology course and one year of general chemistry. Grades of C or better are required in all courses applicable to the minor.
