Bachelor of Science in Microbiology (4 years)

Bachelor of Science in Microbiology (4 years)

Offered by the College of Science – Department of Biological Sciences
Offered by the College of Science – Department of Biological Sciences

Description

Bachelor of Science in Microbiology is a four-year program that provides its students the opportunity to study the various microorganisms, like viruses, bacteria, algae, protozoan, and fungi, and their activities. The Microbiology program emphasizes the sciences of biology, chemistry, genetics, and mathematics, which are essential to the study of microbiology. In the University of Santo Tomas, the study of microorganisms is done through an inquiry-based and discovery learning process. A degree in microbiology prepares students for graduate-level study, for employment in microbiological and allied fields (e.g., food and beverage industries, health sciences, and environmental sciences), or for medical school.

Welcome Message for Freshmen A.Y. 2020-2021

Welcome Message for Freshmen A.Y. 2020-2021

Dear Freshmen Thomasian Scientists,

I would like to extend my warmest virtual welcome to the UST College of Science to all of you!

Never in recent history has science played such a visible role in society. This highlights the country鈥檚 need for more scientists to continue the task of discovering and understanding the world we live in, and in innovating technologies and processes to solve humanity鈥檚 most pressing concerns. Thomasian scientists have always played a significant role in charting the scientific progress of this country. By choosing the UST College of Science, you have already shown a desire to be part of this country鈥檚 scientific workforce. Our motto in the College of Science is 鈥淕aling Science, Galing Science!鈥�. This speaks of our desire to instill excellence among our students, which we hope you will all embody by the time you earn your degrees.

This is a truly unprecedented start to Academic Year 2020-2021 for all of us. Rest assured that the College of Science is one with the entire UST community in ensuring that learning will take place for our students despite these challenging circumstances. The learning management system of the university, dubbed the UST Cloud Campus, which has been in place for more than a decade now, is ready to provide the main platform for the efficient delivery of instruction. However, given the distinct challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, our faculty are continuously innovating to meet the demands of this uncharted territory in higher education. We will also strive to provide adequate laboratory instruction, which is central to the sciences, despite the limitations set forth by physical distancing and public health regulations.

We hope to develop a strong partnership with you, our dear students, your parents, guardians, benefactors and families, in order to ensure that you get the quality Thomasian science education you sought to have by enrolling in our college.

We all pray that in due time, we can continue to deliver the quality Thomasian science education you deserve under more normal circumstances.

Prof. Rey Donne S. Papa, PhD
Dean

In this extraordinary time of the COVID-19 pandemic, the role of Faith and Science becomes greatly underscored in our life. Welcoming you to the University of Santo Tom谩s, therefore, does not only bring joy but hope for the people of God whom you will be serving.

In the face of physical, economic, psychological, and spiritual predicaments, we must be undeterred to pursue the听Veritas听(Truth) through our academic endeavors听per scientiam ad Dominum听(through Science towards the Lord) as inspired by our patron St. Albert the Great, and his illustrious disciple, St. Thomas Aquinas, who said: 鈥淛ust as it is better to illuminate than merely to shine, so to pass on what one has contemplated is better than merely to contemplate鈥� (cf. S.Th. II-II q. 188 a. 6.).

Through Faith and Science, we keep on finding courage in the midst of life鈥檚 hardship. When life is difficult, all the more that we need to be full of life. The harder the blow, the harder we hope. Illuminate others than merely shine. Share the fruits of your studies, than merely contemplate. Don鈥檛 be discouraged over closed doors; look for the back door and even the open windows. Don鈥檛 just focus on what we鈥檝e lost; look also for what we鈥檝e received. Welcome to the UST College of Science.听

Rev. Fr. Louie R. Coronel, O.P., EHL
Regent
