To Nassau Community College Students/Alumni (nursing): (Medical Micro or Micro?)?

At Nassau Community College, which class is tougher or what's the difference: Medical Microbiology or Microbiology? I know NCC requires the first one for its own nursing program, but I'm just wondering if there's a small or big difference between the two. Please also explain why.
