Description

Students who will enter their final year of undergraduate studies in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology are encouraged to consider Independent Studies in Microbiology and Immunology, MIMM 501/502 D1, D2. The course is an intensive 12-credit program of study and research in the laboratory of one of the professors of the Department. The number of places is limited. To qualify for registration in this course, students must have a CGPA of 3.5 or higher.

12 Credits - Fall and Winter

This 73-credit program combines the substantial background given by the Major program with a challenging opportunity to carry out a laboratory research project in the U-3 year.

This flexible 48-credit program provides students with a strong concentration in Microbiology and Immunology. Students can pursue a minor in another specialty.
