Program details
Overview
This program leads to a Bachelor of Science in Cellular, Molecular and Microbial Biology at the University of Calgary's Faculty of Science, delivered on campus. It examines how single-celled organisms and cells function at a molecular level, covering the relationship between cell structure and function and the role of microbes in the environment, industry, and disease. Learning combines classroom instruction, tutorials, and substantial laboratory work, with study-abroad options available. First-year courses include two components of general chemistry, introductory calculus, linear methods, and energy flow in biological systems. The program suits students curious about how bacterial, plant, and animal cells function and about questions such as whether genes can be transferred between organisms to prevent or treat disease. Career paths mentioned include biotechnology, medical research, and toxicology, and the degree also serves as a foundation for graduate study or for professional programs in law, medicine, veterinary medicine, or architecture. Admission is competitive, requiring English Language Arts, Math 30-1, and additional approved science or math courses, with an estimated competitive average in the low 90s.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Direct entry from Alberta high school (Cellular, Molecular and Microbial Biology) requires English Language Arts 30-1, Mathematics 30-1, Biology 30, Chemistry 30, and one further approved course or option. University of Calgary states an estimated competitive admission average in the low 90s for this program. These figures are for the Alberta high-school direct-entry route only; other curricula and international applicants are assessed on separate criteria not covered here.
Application Details
Application Deadline:For Fall 2027 entry, the University of Calgary opens undergraduate applications for domestic applicants on 1 October 2026 and for international applicants on 15 August 2026, both closing on the same firm application deadline of 1 March 2027, with supporting documents due by 15 March 2027 and offers accepted by 1 May 2027. International applicants follow the identical March 1 deadline; the university publishes no separate, later international closing date. Applications are not accepted on a rolling basis after the deadline for most direct-entry programmes, though a small number of programmes (e.g. Nursing) run further selection rounds into the summer while space remains. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
