Application Process

Enrollment in the on-campus WSU clinical laboratory science AAS degree program is limited to 44 students each fall semester.  Applications for the program are available from the CLS secretary after January 1, (Room 208 in the Marriott Health building), or the application can be emailed or faxed to you. To reach the department secretary, call 801-626-6118.

• If you have been previously accepted into the CLT program and you have not taken CLS classes for one or more years, you are required to reapply to the program, due to the limited number of student positions available.
