Welcome

The Department of Veterinary and Microbiological Sciences is part of the College of Agriculture, Food Systems and Natural Resources at North Dakota State University.  We offer undergraduate programs leading to a B.S. in Microbiology and a Certificate in Animal Health Management.  Our graduate programs include an M.S. degree in Microbiology and a Ph.D. in Molecular Pathogenesis.  In addition to the programs offered directly through our department, we participate in a number of interdisciplinary programs on campus.  These include undergraduate programs in biotechnology and food safety, and graduate programs in cellular and molecular biology, environmental and conservation sciences, genomics and bioinformatics, and food safety.

Our faculty has expertise in bacteriology, epidemiology, fungal biology, immunology, molecular biology, parasitology, and virology.  Our research programs focus on infectious disease, microbial toxins, environmental microbiology, and allergy.
