For currently certified health professionals, the Master of Science in Clinical Science affords an opportunity to perform graduate work that substantially augments their professional certification and leads to the acquisition of new knowledge and job skills. For those who have a substantial clinical science undergraduate record, but do not have the appropriate training and certification, the Master of Science in Clinical Science provides an academic and clinical route to professional certification. This is accomplished through the Clinical Options. These options Clinical Genetics, Cytotechnology, Medical Technology, and Nuclear Medicine Technology are composed of a clinical component. During this time, students are enrolled at the University but attend lectures and laboratory practica at the assigned clinical site.
Students earn credit that apply to their selected option in the graduate program.
Students admitted to the graduate program and who are applying to a clinical option must meet the entry and prerequisite requirements specified. Academic Advisement Careful and comprehensive advising is a key to student success in the Clinical Sciences, and entails student, faculty and University support services. Clinical Science majors are required to consult with an advisor each semester before registration. Students must provide the Department with copies of transcripts from all institutions attended. Students are strongly recommended to purchase the University Catalog to become familiar with the academic program and relevant policies and procedures before their first advising sessions.
