Clinical
Laboratory Science
This cooperative degree program, administered by the Medical Professions
Committee, leads to the Bachelor of Science degree. It is a four-year program
including three years of college work followed by one year of work in an
affiliated hospital. The degree requires 120 semester hours of credit including
90 semester hours at EIU (or a combination of transfer credits and credits
earned at Eastern totaling 90 semester hours) and 32 semester hours credit for
successful completion of a one-year program in clinical laboratory science at an
affiliated hospital.
After completing 45 semester hours of this program, a student should apply to
the Medical Professions Committee for admission into the Clinical Laboratory
Science program. Approval by the Committee is required for admission to and
continuation in the program. The decisions of the committee are based on the
availability of spaces in approved affiliated hospitals for the fourth year of
the program as well as the applicant's academic qualifications. Students should
have demonstrated at least a 2.75 GPA both cumulatively and in their biological
science and chemistry courses, or they will be put on probationary status until
these minima are met. Admission to the Clinical Laboratory Science program does
not insure admission to an affiliated hospital program. EIU cannot guarantee
admission to any of its affiliated hospitals.
