UW-Madison Dept of Bacteriology
Admissions and Requirements
Admissions
You can declare the Microbiology major at any time in your undergraduate career. You should initially meet with the Student Services Coordinator to discuss the major, the science, and to make a tentative 'road map' for the remainder of your time here at UW-Madison. The department encourages you to schedule that meeting as early as possible, for a couple important reasons. Once declared, you will receive emails from the Student Services Coordinator containing information on course offerings, academic announcements, job postings, career preparation activities / events, graduate and professional school preparation information, and more. Additionally, when you become a Microbiology major, you will be assigned an advisor from the department. You should plan to meet with your advisor each semester.
Requirements
The Microbiology major is offered through both the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences and the College of Letters and Science. The requirements for the major itself are the same in either college. What differs between the colleges are the general education requirements. Please contact the Student Services Coordinator for a comparison or an explanation of differences between the two colleges.
