Pre-Clinical Laboratory Science
The following three year pre-professional program is based on the requirements for admission to the Clinical
Laboratory Science Program in the School of Allied Health Professions at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. A minimum 77
semester hours of pre-clinical laboratory science courses must be completed at UNK. The Clinical Laboratory Science Program at UNMC
is an 11 month program. Students will receive a Bachelor’s Degree from UNMC upon completing of the clinical training.
While other clinical laboratory science programs may be similar, the student is urged to contact the specific
school of his or her choice to determine any suggested variations of this pre-professional schedule. Students must apply for positions
in clinical laboratory science programs and the competition is intense. Therefore admission is never guaranteed.
