Liberal program

This flexible 50-credit program provides students with a strong concentration in Microbiology and Immunology. Students can pursue a minor in another specialty.

A grade of C or better must be obtained in all required courses. A student who has a CGPA of 3.2 or higher can apply for admission to the graduate program in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology. However, we recommend that students who intend to proceed to Graduate Studies select the Major or Honours program. Students are required to do at least one minor or minor concentration in another discipline.
