The nature of laboratories will also change. As sophisticated changes occur in technology, clinical laboratory scientists will be required to acquire new skills and knowledge. This program is designated as the ladder program. If the AAB is the certifying agency, all parts of the examination must be passed to be accepted. The final 30 semester hours must be completed through The University of Louisiana at Monroe.
Students can work as fast or as slow as they wish to complete the program.
Courses taken at other colleges or universities should be approved by the Department Head of the ULM program before enrollment to insure acceptability. Should the student elect to complete all requirements except the Clinical Laboratory Science courses at a college or university other than ULM, the student must complete 30 semester hours through ULM to receive the baccalaureate degree. These courses can be taken as directed or independent study courses through the ULM program or as regular on-campus classes. It is the responsibility of individual students to maintain contact with the Department Head and discuss courses currently enrolled in, courses to be taken the following semester, and completion of all necessary paperwork. It is NOT the responsibility of the Department Head to contact each student and see that the student fulfills the requirements for continued enrollment in the program.
