Applicants to the program may either be completing requirements for a bachelor’s degree in Clinical Lab Science or a related natural science, or already have a baccalaureate degree from a regionally accredited college or university including courses in biological sciences, chemistry and math and will receive a certificate of completion once the candidate has successfully completed the program. Applicants intending to complete the bachelor’s degree in Clinical Laboratory Science at Wright State University must pass all science and math classes with at least a C and successfully complete the clinical year. All applicants must have an overall GPA of 2.7.

Eligible applicants from nonaffiliated universities will be considered. These applicants must also meet NAACLS, -, and Program requirements before they can enter the program.
