The admission process for Clinical Laboratory Science consists of three phases. These phases are outlined below.

Phase I
Phase I consists of having the following prerequisites met or being currently enrolled at the time of application. The prerequisites are:

• Overall GPA of 2.8 or above
• BMS 208
• BIO 120

  See the Advising Sheets for information on sequence of courses that a student should take in their first two years at GVSU.
  

  Phase II
  Phase II consists of the actual application process. Students must submit all application materials to the Director of the Clinical Laboratory Science program (see address below). The application consists of the following components all of which must be completed and submitted by February 1, prior to the intended winter entry. Late applications will be considered assuming requirements are met and space is available in the program.

  • Application Process
