B.S. in Medical Biology - Integrated Clinical Laboratory Sciences Concentration - Plan 1 Students of Plan 1 are full-time or part-time students enrolled in courses within the CLS (Clinical Laboratory Sciences/Medical Technology) Program. The CLS Program integrates a didactic course component taught at the University with a clinical course component taught at a clinical affiliate site. The University-based courses are presented with practice laboratory sessions reinforced in the professional laboratory setting through clinical rotation assignments in Chemistry, Hematology, Immunohematology and Microbiology. Students are exposed to state-of-the-art instrumentation and are educated by highly qualified faculty to become entry-level CLS personnel with comprehensive skills to join this laboratory profession.     Admission Requirements for the CLS Concentration Plan 1 For an application for admission, all applicants must write to: Program Director CLS Program, Health Sciences Department Long Island University C.W. Post Campus 720 Northern Boulevard Brookville, N.Y. 11548-1300 Completed applications must be returned to the Program Director with official transcript(s) from all colleges or universities attended, and with two letters of recommendation from science professors. The same requirements are to be fulfilled for undergraduate admission to the University. Only qualified applicants are contacted for a personal interview. This completes the program entry requirements. Students are expected to fulfill the program's *pre-requisites with a minimum grade point average of 2.5. Higher grade point averages are preferred (4.0 is an A grade). Students may transfer pre-requisite courses from a two-year college by completing them preferably with a 2.5 (on a 4 point scale) average or better. The *pre-requisite courses include: 16 semester hours (24 quarter hours) in the biological sciences. (One course must be in microbiology and immunology.) 16 semester hours (24 quarter hours) in chemistry. (One semester must include a course in organic or biochemistry.) One semester in mathematics. Introductory course in hematology and clinical chemistry. The CLS Program Curriculum The Plan I student must successfully complete both the didactic and clinical components of the CLS Program before a bachelor of science degree is awarded. The degree is conferred in Medical Biology with a specialization in Clinical Laboratory Sciences. The student must successfully complete all didactic courses prior to entry into the clinical courses which are taught at a hospital affiliate site for a total of 24 weeks. HSMB refers to Health Sciences Medical Biology and is the prefix of each course number.

Post to fulfill the requirements of the B.S. degree. Pursuit of this route of degree completion must be approved in advance by the Program Director, Chairperson and Dean. B.S. in Medical Biology - Health Technology Concentration - Plan 3 Students pursuing this B.S. degree (Plan 3 option) will develop skills to pursue careers in the health technology (bioscience) industry. Positions are available in companies that emphasize biotechnology, medical devices, pharmaceuticals, life systems, and project leadership or forensic pathology. Replace the Traditional Medical Biology (Plan 1 & 2 Option) courses listed below with the added subjects list.
