Through its clinical lab science concentration, the Department of Biological and Environmental Sciences is successful in guiding students for careers in medical technology and clinical lab sciences. By working closely with the Director of Health Pre-Professional Programs, students can prepare for transfer into programs at a professional institution. Students in these programs typically have the option of taking courses at Longwood for one to three years prior to matriculation to a clinical program. Admission to these programs is highly competitive and is based on the student’s academic performance during the pre-professional period as well as personal recommendations and related experiences. A minimum GPA of 3.0 is usually required for transfer. Completion of Longwood’s clinical lab science concentration does not guarantee admission to a professional clinical lab sciences program. Links to professional schools and specific requirements may be found on the Department’s website.
