UTSA/UTHSCSA
Joint Bachelor of Science Degree in Clinical Laboratory Sciences (CLS)
Certain specific physical skills and abilities are required
to successfully participate in the clinical laboratory sciences program.
Students may wish to inquire regarding these physical requirements before
seeking admission to the program or registering for specific courses in
the program.
In the joint degree program, clinical laboratory sciences courses are
offered throughout the course of study, culminating in a concentrated
clinical hospital experience at The University of Texas Health Science
Center at San Antonio. Students complete clinical laboratory sciences
courses during their sophomore and junior years and enroll in classes
on both the UTSA and UTHSCSA campuses. To enroll in UTHSCSA courses, students
must complete a course card obtainable from both the UTHSCSA Office of
Admissions and the Department of Clinical Laboratory Sciences. All CLSC
courses are taught at UTHSCSA and are listed separately.
For consideration for admission into the joint degree program, students
must complete a separate application form. This form may be obtained from
the Registrar's Office at The University of Texas Health Science Center
at San Antonio, 7703 Floyd Curl Drive, San Antonio, Texas 78284. This
application should be submitted by May 1 for fall admission and November
1 for spring admission. Students must be admitted to UTHSCSA before they
enroll in CLSC courses. Minimum requirements for admission to UTHSCSA
include 24 semester credit hours of college work, an overall grade point
average of 2.0, and no grade lower than a "C" in any basic science course.
Admission to and successful continuation in the program will provide the
student with a clinical practicum position at one of the UTHSCSA teaching
affiliates. A list of these affiliates may be obtained from the Department
of Clinical Laboratory Sciences at UTHSCSA.
The clinical laboratory sciences program is accredited by the Committee
on Allied Health Education and Accreditation in cooperation with the National
Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences. Upon successful completion
of this joint degree program, students are eligible to take one of the
national certification examinations. All students are encouraged to be
counseled each semester by either the CLS department chair or a member
of the CLS faculty to ensure enrollment in appropriate coursework.
The minimum number of semester credit hours required for this degree,
including the 42 hours of Core Curriculum requirements, is 157.5.
All candidates for this degree must fulfill the Core Curriculum requirements
and the degree requirements, which are listed below.
Core Curriculum requirements:
Students seeking the UTSA/UTHSCSA Joint Bachelor of Science degree in
Clinical Laboratory Sciences must fulfill University Core Curriculum requirements
in the same manner as other students. The courses listed in the table
below satisfy both degree requirements and Core Curriculum requirements;
however, if these courses are taken to satisfy both requirements, then
students will need to take additional courses in order to meet the minimum
number of semester credit hours required for this degree. For a complete
listing of courses that satisfy the Core Curriculum requirements see pages
9-13 of this catalog.
