Microbiology Sample Schedule

We do not provide a sample schedule for the Microbiology track because doing so could be misleading. With over 25 courses to choose from, and the ability to tailor your coursework to your particular interests, schedules for students in the Microbiology track are very individualized and specific.

Clinical Microbiology Sample Schedules

Please note that this is just a sample. Some courses are offered on a spring-only, fall-only or every-other-year basis. Additionally, this sample is for a full time student, which requires a student to take 9 Cr per semester. There is no UWL requirement for being a full time student.
