(BS)
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.
