Double Major (BS or BA Biology, BS CLS)

For students who desire additional career options beyond hospital laboratories, the double major will prepare you to work in other areas where a strong foundation in biological and medical laboratory sciences is desirable. These areas may include reference labs, public health labs, industrial labs, crime labs, or the biotechnology industry. Students may earn either the BS in Biology with a Molecular/Cell Biology concentration or a BA in Biology along with the BS in Clinical Laboratory Science. Sample degree plans are linked below. This option also offers excellent preparation for graduate study.

Currently, there are no distance education options for this degree.
