Bachelor of Science – Medical Laboratory Science (3+1) Transfer Guide
Transfer Process
All transfer students seeking a Bachelor of Science degree in Medical Laboratory Science should follow the
admission procedures located on the following website in order to be admitted to St. Cloud State University:
www.stcloudstate.edu/transfer. A student must first be accepted to St. Cloud State and then may apply to the
Medical Laboratory Science major after meeting the major’s admission requirements.

Program Information:
Students completing Medical Laboratory Science as a major at SCSU typically complete three years of courses
at SCSU, followed by one year of internship at a clinical affiliate (this is sometimes referred to as the 3+1
program). It is not recommended that students take their liberal education requirements before beginning the
major requirements listed above; doing this may set students behind on their academic timeline.
The course recommendations listed are for students who are not a Certified Medical Laboratory Technician. If
you are a Certified Medical Laboratory Technician, please contact either Dr. Millis or Kim Scardino (contact
information listed below) to learn more about SCSU’s 2+2 program with North Hennepin Community College.
Students are encouraged to meet with an advisor to design an appropriate program to meet the requirements of
the clinical internship site chosen by the student as soon as possible after beginning coursework at SCSU.
Notes:
 Please visit the Medical Laboratory Science webpage for more information:
http://www.stcloudstate.edu/healthsciences/medLabScience/
 Students are required to complete the 10 goal areas in the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum (MnTC),
known as the Liberal Education Program at SCSU.
 Students must complete a minimum of 40 upper-division credits (300-400 level coursework) to graduate
from SCSU.


The following courses are completed in the Liberal Education Program as a result of completing the
Medical Laboratory Sciences major: Math 112 to fulfill Goal Area 4; CHEM 210 and BIOL 151 to
fulfill Goal Area 3.
If a student completes a goal within the MnTC, the same goal will be completed at SCSU once
transferred.
*This transfer guide is intended for students who are not a Certified Medical Laboratory Technician.
