Dual Degree (BS Biology, BS CLS)

For students who desire additional career options beyond hospital laboratories, the dual degree track will prepare you to work in other areas where a strong foundation in molecular and cell biology and medical laboratory science are desirable. These areas may include reference labs, public health labs, industrial labs, crime labs, or the biotechnology industry. Students earn the BS in Biology with a Molecular/Cell Biology concentration and also earn the BS in Clinical Laboratory Science. Plans to complete both degrees in either four or five years are available and linked below. This option also offers excellent preparation for graduate study.

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