Clinical Laboratory Science
The clinical laboratory science major
is a joint program with the Mayo Clinic. Students complete the required Viterbo
University coursework during their first three years and spend a final year in
practicum at the Mayo Clinic. Students enter Viterbo University as biology
majors and apply to the clinical laboratory science major during the summer
between sophomore and junior years. To be an applicant, students must have a 3.25
cumulative grade point average. Those accepted will be declared clinical
laboratory science majors.
