Carroll University offers an opportunity to major in Medical Laboratory Sciences (formerly Clinical Laboratory Sciences) through a partnership with the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM). The partnership allows students the benefits of close, personal attention during the first two and one-half years at Carroll while still providing access to the advanced clinical training facilities at UWM in the final stages of the program.

Medical Laboratory Science students can select one of several emphases at UWM:

• Medical Technology
• Cytotechnology
• Public Health Microbiology

These emphases provide a range of career opportunities in settings including hospitals, independent laboratories, public health facilities, industries, research laboratories, or sales and marketing centers. Long-term employment prospects in these areas are forecasted to be excellent.

Entry into the professional training phase of the program is competitive and depend- ent upon completion of general education requirements, a minimum GPA of 2.50 (overall and in required science courses), a grade of ‘C’ or better in courses transfer- ring from Carroll and in all junior-level courses, and completion of all required and elective courses (90 credits) by second semester of the junior year.

  One social science elective must satisfy UWM’s Diversity requirement prior to gradua- tion. ENG 164, American Indian Literature and Cultures will satisfy this diversity requirement as well as a GE 1 (P1, CCD).
  
  Students must also demonstrate completion of UWM’s language requirement by achieving one of the following:
  • complete with passing grades (prior to entering university) at least two years of high school level instruction in a single foreign language, or
  • complete with passing grades at least two semesters (minimum of 6 credits) of university level instruction in a single foreign language, or
  • demonstrate foreign language ability at least equivalent to the above by means of a satisfactory score on an approved placement, proficiency, program or other appropriate examination.
  
  Because of the specialized requirements of this program, students should work closely with the MLS Advisor.
  
  It is also important to be in contact with the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee advisor early in the junior year. There is a mandatory meeting for all MLS students each fall at UW-M.
