How are our day to day lives affected by organisms too small to see with the naked eye? Sophia Learning’s Microbiology course is designed to introduce you to the field of microbiology including the tools used, organisms studied, methods of clinical testing, control of microorganisms, and the role of microorganisms in health and disease. The course also covers essential biological concepts as they relate to microbiology, including metabolic processes, genetics, evolution, genetic engineering, biotechnology, immunology, and more. The content is intended to be interesting and relevant for learners studying allied health or preparing for non-STEM careers while also providing clear information to provide a strong foundation for STEM majors. It's recommended that you complete this course simultaneously with the accompanying Microbiology Lab course for the best experience. Please plan ahead. While you can take as many Sophia courses as you’d like each month with your membership, you are only allowed to be active in two courses at a time. Taking this lecture course along with the lab course will occupy your two-course limit.
