Admission into Clinical Laboratory Science Certificate Program (Track Three)

Students currently enrolled in Track Three of the Bachelor of Science in Health Science (BSHS) degree program must meet the CLS Certificate admissions requirements to be considered for admission to the Clinical Laboratory Science (CLS) Certificate program. Acceptance into Track Three of the BSHS program does not guarantee acceptance in the CLS certificate program. Students who are accepted into the CLS program, and successfully complete the year-long curriculum, will graduate with both a BSHS degree and a certificate in Clinical Laboratory Science. Students who are not accepted or do not complete the CLS certificate program have the option to complete all requirements within the Track One curriculum plan at the time of transition.

Admission into Nuclear Medicine Technology Certificate Program (Track Four)

Students currently enrolled in Track Four of the Bachelor of Science in Health Science (BSHS) degree program must meet the NMT certificate admissions requirements to be considered for admission to the Nuclear Medicine Technology (NMT) Certificate program. Acceptance into Track Four of the BSHS program does not guarantee acceptance in the NMT certificate program. Students who are accepted into the NMT program, and successfully complete the year-long curriculum, will graduate with both a BSHS degree and a certificate in Nuclear Medicine Technology. Students who are not accepted or do not complete the NMT certificate program have the option to complete all requirements within the Track One curriculum plan at the time of transition.
