The Undergraduate Immunology Program is designed for graduating high school seniors and college freshmen and sophomores with an outstanding academic record and the desire to pursue a career in biomedical research, medicine or the health professions. Successful applicants to the Program should meet the admissions criteria below.

High school students with a GPA of 3.5 or better and an ACT score of 28 or better will be considered for immediate acceptance into the Immunology Program. High school students who do not meet these requirements may be accepted into the program as pre-immunology majors. Any student who is admitted as a pre-immunology major must have an overall GPA 3.0 after 24 credits of work at UAB, a GPA 3.25 in their Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics (MA 105 and higher) coursework, and have taken a freshman year curriculum that is compatible with the Program.

Current UAB students and transfer students from other institutions who are freshmen or sophomores (non-direct admits) may select Immunology for their major, but must have an overall GPA 3.0 and must have demonstrated excellent academic performance in science/mathematics courses and have a GPA 3.25 in those courses.

Students must maintain an overall GPA 3.0 in order to remain in good academic standing in the Program. If a student's overall GPA falls below 3.0, they will have one semester to bring their overall grade to 3.0 or better.
