Senior year or post graduation hospital clinical training program is required.
Total credits required to complete the major:		49.0-53.0

In addition, students considering other professional programs or graduate school are encouraged to take calculus, physics, and other possible electives that suit their future needs.   See the program advisor for details.

Senior year or post-graduation hospital clinical training program is required to practice in the profession . The comple­tion of the clinical training program is a specific degree requirement of the Clinical Laboratory Science Profession. Students choosing the 3 + 1 program option and successfully completing the Clinical Training Program will receive a waiver for the Career-Related Experience general degree requirement.
