ABOUT THE PROGRAM IN CLINICAL LABORATORY SCIENCE In KU’s 70-year accredited CLS program, students receive a one-of-a kind dual-track program featuring molecular biotechnology and the traditional clinical concentrations. The extensive scientific background a student receives in CLS is an advantage to those seeking further academic or professional studies. In addition, many students receive substantial scholarships.
Students interested in clinical lab science should contact the CLS Department at the KU Medical Center for advising early in their college work. The University of Kansas CLS program requires two years of preparatory college coursework (59 hours minimum) and two years of professional coursework. Academic advising is available on the Lawrence and KU Medical Center campuses . The program is open to students with BA, BS or BGS degrees who have completed the prerequisites. Applications for the professional program may be obtained from and submitted
to the Clinical For molecular biotechnology students, the first 3 semesters at KU include traditional CLS courses, such as lectures and labs in clinical chemistry, microbiology and hematology. The last semester includes courses directly related to the molecular biotechnology concentration, beginning with intensive molecular biotechnology lab and lecture classes. Classwork is followed by 14 weeks of practicum that gives students in-depth work experience in the molecular biotechnology and molecular genetics field. Upon completion of the four-year program, students will have a Bachelor of Science degree in Clinical Laboratory Science with a concentration in Molecular Biotechnology. The CLS Department also offers a Master of Science in Molecular Biotechnology degree program for students interested in continuing their academic pursuits at the graduate level.
