The Department of Microbiology in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences at Columbia University bridges modern molecular biology and research on infectious disease. The doctoral program in Microbiology began in 1893, and was the first medical science degree granting program at Columbia University. The faculty, postdoctoral fellows, staff and students of the department continue a long tradition of making outstanding contributions to biology and medicine.

Under the leadership of Low's successor, Nicholas Murray Butler, Columbia rapidly became the nation's major institution for research, setting the "multiversity" model that later universities would adopt. On the Morningside Heights campus, Columbia centralized on a single campus the College, the School of Law, the Graduate Faculties, the School of Mines (predecessor of the Engineering School), and the College of Physicians & Surgeons. Butler went on to serve as president of Columbia for over four decades and became a giant in American public life (as one-time vice presidential candidate and a Nobel Laureate). His introduction of "downtown" business practices in university administration led to innovations in internal reforms such as the centralization of academic affairs, the direct appointment of registrars, deans, provosts, and secretaries, as well as the formation of a professionalized university bureaucracy, unprecedented among American universities at the time.
