Degree Requirements for Clinical Sciences Option
By integrating their clinical and non-clinical experiences, graduates of the clinical sciences option are prepared for graduate studies and/or for industrial or government employment as research assistants, technical sales representatives, product development personnel, instrument designers, and/or technical service representatives. These students pursue a core of courses similar to students electing the medical technology option courses, but substitute additional didactic, laboratory and/or experiential opportunities. While this option is not structured to prepare graduates for certification as medical technologists, it does provide them with an opportunity to specialize in subject areas related to clinical laboratory science.
