Biomedical Science with Clinical Lab Concentration |
Introduction
Clinical Laboratory Scientists (also referred to as Medical Technologists) are certified healthcare professional that perform diagnostic procedures in a clinical laboratory. These procedures help physicians diagnose and treat diseases. Clinical Laboratory Scientists may also work for pharmaceutical companies, veterinarian offices, medical research laboratories and crime laboratories.
The curriculum is designed to give students a solid academic background in the areas of biology and chemistry that will prepare them to apply to a 1 year Clinical Laboratory Sciences program with an affiliated medical center. Students who complete the accredited training program can qualify for a B.S. in Biomedical Sciences with a concentration in Clinical Laboratory Sciences.
The Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Sciences with the Clinical Laboratory Sciences (CLS) option requires successful completion of 125 semester credit hours.
The following are the minimum coursework/credit requirements for the B.S. degree.
