Program Modules

Students choose from three Honors Specialization modules:

1) The Honours Specialization in Microbiology & Immunology offers foundational and advanced courses in microbiology and immunology.

2) The Honours Specialization in Biochemistry of Infection and Immunity includes fundamental and advanced courses from microbiology and immunology as well as biochemistry recognizing the importance of both fields.

3) The Honours Specialization in Microbiology & Immunology with Pathology allows a more comprehensive understanding of the pathogenesis of human diseases.


Students in Year 4 of each Honours Specialization module complete a research project/seminar course.

Students who wish to combine an interest in Microbiology and Immunology with another discipline may register in either a Major in Microbiology and Immunology, which includes a selection of advanced courses, or a Minor in Microbiology and Immunology, which offers students an introduction to the discipline.
