Admission Requirements
Applicants for admission to the Professional听Medical Laboratory Science program听must
meet requirements for admission to the University. The Medical Laboratory Science
curriculum offers clinical instruction in its educational program as required by the
National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences (NAACLS). Admissions
are determined annually based upon the availability of clinical positions and instructional
resources available to the program.
Students must meet the following minimum criteria to be considered for selection into
the Medical Laboratory Science Professional Program:听
- Admission to the University and submission of all official transcripts by the published
deadline;
- A minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.5 (uncorrected) on a 4.0 scale;
- A minimum grade point average of 2.7 (corrected/selective) on a 4.0 scale for all
required prerequisite coursework;
- Completion of all prerequisite academic courses by the end of the spring semester
of the application year. A student may request to take a prerequisite course in the
summer of the application year; approval to do so will be on a case-by-case basis.
a. A minimum grade of 鈥淐鈥� or better in all required mathematics, biology, and chemistry
courses.
An application packet for admission into the professional program may be obtained
below during the spring semester. Completed application forms, along with the application fee, must be received by the
Medical Laboratory Science Admissions Committee.听
Each application will be reviewed individually for compliance with the requirements
for admission.
The Program Director, with the committee鈥檚 recommendation, will notify each applicant
regarding admission status. Because there are a limited number of clinical positions,
students are selected on a competitive basis. All students who progress to year 2
of the professional program are guaranteed clinical placement.听
Due to the utilization of objective criteria in processing applications, attainment
of minimum requirements in the pre-Medical Laboratory Science curriculum does not
guarantee admission to the professional Medical Laboratory Science program.
If a student is not admitted to the professional MLS program, reapplication must be
made following the regular procedure. The student must fulfill all prerequisites in
the required sequence of courses leading to the application for the professional program
in Medical Laboratory Science.
No advance placement or transfer of credits for experiential learning is offered at
the 四色AV MLS Professional Program.
The 四色AV Medical Laboratory Science Program accepts students without regard to age,
race, religion, sex, national origin, or marital status.
The 四色AV MLS Professional Program is accepting applications for the fall 2024 class.
The deadline is May 1, 2024. However, the MLS Professional Program is still taking
applications. Please email Jessica Lasiter for more information (lasiter@ulm.edu). Click here for the application packet.
