Microbiology courses and programs give students a basic understanding of microscopic life. From the viruses that make us sick to the beneficial soil bacteria that help our crop plants grow, these organisms have many relevant human applications.

Courses are individual classes that can be taken at universities, colleges, junior colleges, and trade schools worldwide. For even greater flexibility, many schools also offer online classes. Students can take individual classes or pursue degree programs.

Online learning refers to use of electronic media and information and communication technologies (ICT) in education. With online learning one has the flexibility to access their studies at any time and from anywhere they can log on.
