The Medical Laboratory Science program requires the completion of the "Foundations", "Cultures", and 1 "SWS" general education courses prior to the start of the program. There are no exceptions to this requirement! The remaining 2-Issues and 1-SWS courses may be completed during the program.

Michigan Transfer Agreement (MTA): Students that have attended a Michigan Community College and have met specific course requirements as outlined by their community college may be eligible for the MTA stamp. GVSU will award credit for the General Education Foundations and 1-SWS upon successful completion of the MTA and the receipt of an official community college transcript bearing the MTA credential. If you are unsure of how this process works please contact the records office at your Michigan community college for further assistance.
