The curriculum in pre-clinical laboratory sciences meets the minimum academic requirements for application to the Bachelor of Science degree program in clinical laboratory sciences offered by the VCU School of Allied Health Professions. Students intending to apply to a professional program at another institution should consult that institution’s bulletin for specific prerequisite courses.

Admission to and satisfactory completion of the two-year preparation program does not constitute admission to the junior- and senior-year professional program of the School of Allied Health Professions. In the fall of the year preceding the year of desired admission, the student must apply separately to the professional program through the VCU Office of Undergraduate Admissions, P.O. Box 980632, Richmond, VA 23298-0632.

Admission into the program is based on scholastic record, demonstrated aptitude and interest, and a personal interview conducted by the departmental admissions committee.
