Our distinctive program covers the full range of contemporary Microbiology studies. Learners can focus their research in four cutting-edge specialization areas: Microbial Pathogenesis, Environmental Microbiology and Ecology, Microbial Evolution, Genomics and Metagenomics, and Molecular and Cellular Microbiology. Our cross-disciplinary faculty represent multiple departments including Chemical and Environmental Engineering, Chemistry, Entomology, Environmental Sciences, Evolution, Ecology and Organismal Biology, Microbiology and Plant Pathology, Molecular, Cell and Systems Biology, and Biomedical Sciences. The processes through which organisms develop pathogenicity and how plants, animals, and arthropods respond to infections share fundamental similarities. By combining UCR's established expertise in plant and vector biology with its growing biomedical research community, our Microbiology program offers a comprehensive, interdisciplinary perspective on microbiology's applications in agriculture and healthcare.

Qualification Requirements
For admission into the graduate program in Microbiology, a student must have a B.A. or B.S. degree from an accredited institution. Although no specific undergraduate degree specialization is required, applicants should have an adequate background in the physical and biological sciences, including the following or equivalent courses:
CHEM 001A, CHEM 001B, CHEM 001C (General Chemistry), CHEM 112A, CHEM 112B, CHEM 112C (Organic Chemistry), BCH 110A, BCH 110B (Biochemistry), MATH 009A, MATH 009B (Calculus), STAT 100A (Statistics), BIOL 102 (Genetics), BIOL 121A/MCBL 121A, BIOL 121L/MCBL 121L (Microbiology), BIOL 107A or BCH 110C (Molecular Biology)
A bachelor's degree, or its equivalent, from an accredited institution. The degree must represent the completion of a program equivalent in subject matter and scholarship to that offered by the University of California.
A minimum of a 3.0 undergraduate GPA or B-equivalent (if GPA is not on a 4.0 scale). We recommend that you check with the graduate program as they may have a higher standard for their GPA requirements. If your GPA is below this, follow up with the graduate program you are interested. Applications are reviewed in their entirety and the program can look at your other components and advise you on potential admission.
All applications are initially reviewed by the graduate program before a recommendation is submitted to the Graduate Division for final approval.
We require transcripts with final grades or most recent grades (if degree is in progress) from all college-level institutions you have attended. We also require proof of any degree awarded to you. Confirmation of your degree can be a degree posting on a transcript or a copy of your degree certificate. If you have attended an institution located outside of the US.
IELTS - minimum acceptable overall score is 7 with no score less than 6 on any individual component. TOEFL - minimum acceptable scores are: 550 for the revised TOEFL paper-delivered test and 80 for the TOEFL iBT.
