Hey guys, just a quick question. Some of the schools require an applicant to have taken a microbiology course. Would bacteriology count towards that even though it just focuses on, well, bacteria? Thank you!

Doubtful.

At my undergrad school (VCU) we had a bacteriology course that was then replaced with microbiology the following semester. I also took bacteriology, but was able to TA for microbiology because it was the same professor that taught both classes. I'm pretty sure it would count. (The material was 99% the same).

Best answer -- always email the schools directly. Each school might consider it differently.

I would contact the school. I took microbiology, but I also took virology...they were NOT the same. Micro covered both viruses and bacteria along with other, well, micro bacteria. Virology covered as one would assume only viruses.
