Clinical Laboratory Science B.A.Sc.Bachelor of Applied Science
College of Continuing and Professional Studies
The bachelor of applied science (B.A.Sc.) degree with a major in clinical laboratory science (CLS) provides the education that clinical laboratory technicians/medical laboratory technicians (CLT/MLT) need for career advancement. Students obtain a strong foundation in the sciences and rich clinical laboratory experiences, and are prepared to work as clinical laboratory scientists, technical specialists, laboratory managers, lab coordinators, and quality control technologists. Graduates may take the national certification examinations to practice as a clinical laboratory scientist/medical technologist (CLS/MT). In partnership with MnSCU, students must complete a two-year CLT/MLT associate?s degree before enrolling. This work cannot be completed at the University of Minnesota.
Students admitted to the CLS major follow the upper division curriculum for the medical technology program along with the medical technology cohort. Most students are likely to need a total of more than four years (including associate degree work) or significant summer work to complete the program.
Program Delivery
This program is available:
Admission Requirements
Students must complete
45 credits
before admission to the program.
A GPA above 2.0 is preferred for the following:
A transfer student must have completed the Medical Laboratory Technician (MLT) two-year degree program or be near completion before applying for official admission to the B.A.Sc.-CLS degree program. The cumulative GPA for science courses will also be reviewed as part of the admission decision.
For information about University of Minnesota admission requirements, visit the
Office of Admissions
website.
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
There is no distinct and independent CLS upper division curriculum. CLS students join the medical technology cohort and follow their exact curriculum.
