\*A B or better in CLS 1511 and 1512 is required for admission into the program. BS in CLS students must earn a C or better in all science and math courses, and in all CLS courses. \*\* Clinical Practicums can be taken in any order and are offered Fall, Spring, and Summer. Upon completion of the curriculum, the student is awarded a baccalaureate degree in Clinical Laboratory Science. Award of this degree is not dependent upon passing the national certification examination offered by the American Society for Clinical Pathology.
