At the current time (fall 2013), a
will also be earned IF a student takes CHE 268,
Organic Chem Lab in addition to the required CLS courses.
CLS 201 is offered Fall and Summer. It should be taken before the junior year.
BIO 141 can be taken in the summer (it does not need to precede BIO 241).
BIO 241 may be replaced by Anatomy & Physiology at another school. (However please note: BIO 241 is
required for most UIS upper division Biology courses such as Anatomy & Physiology, Cell Bio and Genetics)
**Pre-med should take these gen ed courses to prepare for the MCAT: PSY 201, SOC 101, MAT 115, CHE 268
& 269, PHY 201 & 202. If you would like to take the official CLS pre-med concentration, see the website
(www.uis.edu/clinicallabscience) or the department chair.
