Clinical Laboratory Sciences
Cytotechnology, and Medical Laboratory Science Leonard Sciorra, Coordinator
Saint Peter’s College and the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey offer collaborative programs leading to the Bachelor of Science in Clinical Laboratory Sciences in two areas: cytotechnology, and medical laboratory science. The curriculum involves three years (6 semesters) of study at Saint Peter’s College and 12 to 15 months (4 semesters) at UMDNJ-School of Health Related Professions campus). The students in the C.L.S. Programs complete all preprofessional and general education requirements at the College; all professional courses are taken at UMDNJ and at affiliated clinical/research facilities.
Clinical Laboratory Science majors take a minimum of 90 to 95 credits at Saint Peter’s College before beginning the clinical/professional training at UMDNJ. In addition to the core requirements that must be met to earn a Bachelor’s Degree from Saint Peter’s College, the basic preprofessional science requirements common to all three
