I chose microbiology as my major because of my desire to be a lifelong learner. Bacterial species and microbes are everywhere and are thriving in their environments. Due to their plentiful conditions, they will continuously modify their genes and therefore become resistant to vaccines and attack the hosts' immune systems. This ultimately sparked my interest in microbiology early in my academic career. The faculty and staff within the microbiology department are exceptional and are great teachers. They are excellent resources for students who are interested in partaking in research while here at Oklahoma State. There are endless possibilities with a degree in microbiology and that is what I love most. It can be a good starting point to a career in medicine or any other graduate program that one hopes to attend.
