First-year students entering the university directly from high school and intending to follow the CLS/MT curriculum may indicate, on the application to the university, their desire to be classified as a Clinical Laboratory Science major. They will be admitted to the program as pre-Clinical Laboratory Science (PCL) students.

The following courses or their equivalents must be completed before beginning the professional program:

English 100 or equivalent (3 credits), or exemption by placement examination.

All courses that qualify for Communication A are designated in the "ge" column of the Timetable by "a".

Certain humanities and social studies courses staisfy the Communication B requirement. Those courses may be counted for humanities or social studies as well as Communication B. Communication B courses are designated in the "ge" column of the Timetable by "b". (3 credits)

All courses that qualify for Quantitative Reasoning A are designated in the "ge" column of the Timetable by "q".

CLS program requires either both 112(q) and 113, or 114(q).

Note: Math 112 alone fulfills the University's Quantitative Reasoning A requirement but not the CLS Program requirement.

Program Electives which meet the Quantitative Reasoning B requirement are designated both below and in the "ge" column of the Timetable by "r".

(1)

(6)

(6)

(3)

Designated as "e" in the timetable. One course can fulfill 3 credits of either Humanities or Social Studies and the ethnic studies requirement.

Chemistry 103 (4) and 104 (5), or 109 (5), Chemistry 341 (3), or 343 and 345 (6)

Note: Math 112 must be completed before Chemistry 103.

Bacteriology 101 (3) and 102 (2), or 303 (3) and 304 (2)

Zoology 101 (3), 102 (2), or 151 (5), 152 (5)

Physiology 335 (5)

Pathology 404 (3)

Clinical Laboratory Science 310 (2)

MM&I 341 (3)

Students must take at least two courses from the following, one of which must satisfy the Quantitative Reasoning B requirement (r).

Physics 103 (r), 104 or 109 (r), or 201(r), 202, or 207(r), 208

Statistics 201(r), 224(r), 301(r), or 371(r)

Computer Science 302(r)

Mathematics 211(r), 213(r), 221(r), or 222(r) or the combination of 171 & 217

Genetics 466

Chemistry 342 or 344.

Mathematical competence in algebra and trigonometry (Mathematics 112 and 113 or 114) is required for this major. Each entering first-year or transfer student without previous college mathematics must take placement examinations before registration.

Students are expected to have proficiency in writing. Those students who are exempt from English 100 by placement examination have fulfilled the Communication A requirement for this major and will have to fulfill only the Communication B requirement. Help with grammar and composition is available from the Writing Laboratory located in Helen C. White Hall.

Program requirements equal or exceed the general education requirements for natural science, humanities/literature/arts, ethnic studies, and social studies.

General education requirements are included in the sample course scheduale found in the Suggested Study Program.
