   Sample Schedule in Microbiology

This a simple sample schedule of how one could arrange a well-balanced curriculum for a major in Microbiology. Here, we have followed some useful guidelines for creating a managable schedule of classes across all four years of a typical undergraduate educational career.

Please note: The following schedule is only a representative sample of how you might create a balanced four-year schedule to complete a major in Microbiology. There are many other ways to organize the courses, and you should work with one of our Bioscience Advisors to create a plan suitable for you and your specific educational plans.
