Bachelor of Science in Microbiology (Co-op)

The Microbiology (BSc) provides a comprehensive study of modern microbiology, ranging from environmental to medical to molecular microbiology. It is the study of life, infectious agents and biological processes at the microscopic level. This field will introduce you to a world of organisms that live among us — from those involved in food production to those that infect and give rise to disease to those that help elements cycle through the environment or live in symbiosis with other organisms, including ourselves.

To declare the BSc Major or Honours in Microbiology, you first must be accepted into the Faculty of Science. The following are the minimum requirements for entry into the Faculty of Science.

Direct entry means you are applying to the program directly out of high school or have completed fewer than 24 credit hours at a recognized university or college.

Advanced entry Applicants are those who have completed one year (24 credit hours) or more of studies in another faculty at the University of Manitoba or another recognized post-secondary institution.
