A limited number of students are admitted each Spring to the professional component which begins in the Fall Semester. The Senior Year consists of three consecutive semesters beginning with the summer term following the Junior Year. The senior year calendar varies considerably from the normal University calendar. The last 28 weeks of the senior year comprise the clinical practice curriculum. Students are assigned to University teaching hospitals for clinical practice.
Courses meet each day for the number of weeks indicated in the course description.
Specific questions about Clinical Laboratory Sciences and professional course equivalents should be directed to the Chair of the Department. Students must complete a special application for admission to the Professional Component. Application deadline is December 1. Interviews will be scheduled during January and notification of admission to the junior year will be made by February 28. Students are selected by various criteria that predict probability of success as a laboratory professional.
