This is a sample schedule of how one could arrange a well-balanced curriculum for a major in Microbiology. We recommend students enroll in no more than 6 - 8 credits of science/math each term. Also, make sure to balance all labs across several terms.
Please note: The following schedule is only a suggestion for completing a major in Microbiology. There are many other ways to organize the courses. You should work with one of our Biological Sciences Advisors to create a plan suitable for you and your specific educational plans.
