At least SIX upper division courses (Electives) totaling 22 to 24 units (to bring the total units up to at least 50 units)
Sixteen of the 22–24 units must be MIMG courses not already used to fulfill a requirement (see below for complete list of eligible MIMG courses).
The other 6-8 units can come from courses from other departments named below on MIMG Departmentally approved list. (If you find a course that you think may be a good candidate for an elective, email the course description to bridgetw@microbio.ucla.edu to have it evaluated.)
MIMG Departmentally Approved List of Courses
Graduate Courses numbered 200 and above are intended for graduate students. However, undergraduates may petition to use these courses to fulfill the major requirements. These classes will only be allowed to fulfill major requirement upon approval by the Course Instructor and the Department.
