Microbiology at Queen's

What to watch for

Don't search OUAC for a "Microbiology" code — there isn't one. Queen's undergraduate Microbiology and Immunology only exists as a graduate department name; the university's own calendar states admission to the old grad program "Microbiology and Immunology" stopped in 2014 and it folded into Biomedical and Molecular Sciences. For a 17-year-old wanting microbiology, the real Grade 12 route is QL (Life Sciences and Biochemistry), entering as one cohort in first year, splitting into the Life Sciences plan in spring, and later choosing the Biomedical Discovery sub-plan (which explicitly lists Microbiology as an option) once in the Specialization plan — access to some 4th-year specialized courses also requires keeping a cumulative GPA of 2.50.
