MIMG Course Planning

Course Planning Expectations

MIMG students should please work with both MIMG Advisors and UCLA College Advisors for degree planning. This ensures timely graduation and completion of all degree requirements while allowing students to make the most of their UCLA experience.

MIMG Advisors assist with course planning for:

• MIMG Preparation Requirements (LS Core) 
• MIMG Major Requirements
• Pre-Health Requirements
• MIMG Undergraduate Research Coursework

Please connect with UCLA College Advisors for Graduation planning and UCLA/College requirements:

• Contact CAC College Advising

*Students can confirm their College Advising Unit at the top of the Degree Audit (within MyUCLA). 

If students have a minor or an additional major, they should please connect with the respective UCLA Departmental Advisors and/or the respective UCLA Professional School Advisors.

About MIMG Course Plans:

• Example MIMG major plans are examples only and do not apply to all students. 
  • Students must meet the requisite requirements to enroll in needed courses, and students must plan for enrollment with the guidance of MIMG advisors. Students, please contact MIMG Advisors (undergrad@microbio.ucla) with your UID to discuss your personal plan or ask for feedback on a draft plan.
