Bachelor's Degrees
Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS)
The Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS) is the designated degree for baccalaureate programs designed to accommodate the flexible demands for entry and advancement within specific workforce sectors. Bachelor of Applied Science programs provide degree completion opportunities for students from a variety of educational backgrounds, but primarily those with the Associate in Science degree. Bachelor of Applied Science degree programs conform to all articulation conventions (including common course prerequisites, common course numbering, and faculty credentialing) in accordance with Florida statewide articulation standards. Bachelor of Applied Science degree programs typically include capstone experiences that provide opportunities for students to demonstrate the application of acquired knowledge, skills, and competencies.
Bachelor of Science (BS)
The Bachelor of Science (BS) is the designated four-year degree for baccalaureate programs comprised of concentrated studies in the sciences, applied sciences, health sciences, or professional disciplines. Bachelor of Science degree programs provide degree completion opportunities for students from a variety of educational backgrounds, including those who may hold the Associate in Arts or Associate in Science degree.
Clinical Laboratory Science (CLS), BAS
Program Number: 5200
Academic Director Eileen Monck, MS Program Director Myra Urso, MEd BSMT (ASCP) Program Advisor Sari Sanborn Faculty Aaron Hirko, PhD.; Mary El-Semarani, MS; James Thompson, PhD.
The Bachelor of Applied Science in Clinical Laboratory Sciences adheres to the State of Florida common course prerequisites and curriculum frameworks. All BAS degree seeking students are required to complete the same basic requirements as traditional baccalaureate students, including 36 hours of General Education, and demonstration of foreign language competence. The entrance requirements for this program require students choose specific courses in
biological sciences (16 credit hours), chemistry (16 credit hours), and mathematics within their lower division coursework to finish the degree in an appropriate timeframe. Therefore, students are strongly advised to consult with an advisor as early as possible to plan their progress through this degree program.
Baccalaureate students will enroll in courses full-time and will complete a clinical internship in the five specialty license areas in their final year at affiliated laboratories. Part time students will be allowed to take courses if space is available. The clinical affiliate internships will only be offered on a full-time basis after completion of all didactic coursework and serve as an evaluation point at which the students must demonstrate mastery of the program's learning outcomes. To ensure equity across sites, the SF Clinical Director works closely with all affiliate institutions to ensure that students gain proficiency in the skills needed to enter the Clinical Laboratory workforce.
If starting as a freshman, the suggested course sequence for this program schedules a full load of classes each semester including summers over four years for a total of 125 semester credit hours. If starting as a junior with the required prerequisites, the suggested sequence of courses takes two years including summers to complete. Students from other colleges and universities requesting to enter the upper division portion of the program must document comparable prerequisite course work before admission to the program.
Upon completion of all program requirements, students will graduate with a Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) accredited Bachelor of Applied Sciences degree in Clinical Laboratory Sciences. Note: This degree is not contingent on passing any external exams or licensures. Graduates are then eligible for certification as a medical technologist by the American Association of Bioanalysts (AAB) and American Medical Technologist (AMT) at which point they may apply for licensure in the state of Florida. This program is currently is accredited with the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences (NAACLS). 5600 N. River Road Suite 720, Rosemont, IL 600185119 (347) 939-3597 or (773) 714-8880.
