ISU Transfer Plans and Resources

Transferring to Iowa State University

Undergraduate Microbiology Program

Several of our current students have started their Iowa State University Microbiology four year program at a local community college or other four year college or university. Students currently taking classes at a community college are encouraged to consult a transfer plan listed below to see what courses offered at the community college fit well into the microbiology program of study. If you do not see your community college listed below or would like to talk to an advisor in the microbiology program and get advice on which classes to be taking before attending ISU, please contact us at: microundergrad@iastate.edu.
