General Requirements
All students in baccalaureate degree programs are required to complete general University and college requirements including writing and liberal education courses. For more information about University-wide requirements, see the
liberal education requirements.
Required courses for the major, minor or certificate in which a student receives a D grade (with or without plus or minus) do not count toward the major, minor or certificate (including transfer courses).
Program Requirements
MICB 4131, INMD 3001, LAMP 4177, and CLSP 1010 are highly recommended but not required for students pursuing a B.S. degree in clinical laboratory sciences.
Students are placed in a variety of clinical settings during their clinical coursework. In accord with Minnesota law, a criminal background check is required of each student before clinical courses. The program arranges this check.

Program Sub-plans
A sub-plan is not required for this program.
Rochester
The clinical laboratory sciences major is available at two campus locations, the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, and the University of Minnesota, Rochester. Policies, application materials, and course content are the same at both campuses.
Prerequisites are the same for both performance locations.
Honors UHP
This is an honors sub-plan.
Students admitted to the University Honors Program (UHP) must fulfill UHP requirements in addition to degree program requirements. Honors courses used to fulfill degree program requirements will also fulfill UHP requirements.
Current departmental honors course offerings are listed at: http://www.honors.umn.edu/academics/curriculum/dept_courses_current.html.
Honors students complete an honors thesis project in the final year, most often in conjunction with an honors thesis course, or with an honors directed studies or honors directed research course. Students select honors courses and plan for a thesis project in consultation with their UHP adviser and their departmental faculty adviser.
