Undergraduate StudiesBiotc Major (Clinical Laboratory Science Option)The Clinical Laboratory Science (CLS) option of the Biotechnology major is offered for students who enjoy laboratory work and who would consider a career as a scientist in the laboratory of a hospital or physician office laboratory. CLS positions typically call for certified individuals. To become certified, students need a BS degree and formal clinical education, and they must pass a national test to demonstrate understanding of the science they will practice. Thus, the CLS option requires a 10 month period of course work at an affiliated School of Clinical Laboratory Science. This is undertaken during the senior year after students have completed all basic science and general education courses of their undergraduate program. Current affiliations exist with Mt. Nittany Medical Center and with Pennsylvania Hospital in Philadelphia. Graduates enjoy outstanding job opportunities, in the clinical environment as well as the industrial sector.
