USP - University Studies Program Requirements
Completion of all University Studies Program requirements is necessary to obtain a bachelors degree from the University of Wyoming. These requirements may be covered by the Medical Laboratory Technician Associates degree at Casper College. Please work with your advisor to ensure these requirements are fulfilled.
University of Wyoming Requirements
Upper-division courses required to complete the Bachelor of Science in Medical Laboratory Science (All MLSK courses are only available through UW-Casper.):
Upper Division Elective Credit Hours
One upper division elective credit hour must be completed in the student’s junior or senior year to meet the total 42 required upper division credits to graduate. Students may take a three credit class to meet this requirement.
These credits must be 3000 and above, and achieved through online outreach or on campus courses. A list of courses that are acceptable to fulfil this requirement can be made available to the student. If a course is in question, it is highly suggested to the student to contact the UW-C advising department or the MLS program director for requirement fulfillment confirmation.
Enrichment Rotations and Laboratory Sessions
The final semester of the student’s senior year is comprised of didactic material being delivered in an online hybrid manner, supplemented with on campus lab sessions at the UW-Casper campus. These lab sessions will be accompanied by an observational enrichment rotation at a clinical site. This enrichment rotation will allow for the observation of advanced methodologies in a practical environment. It will be the students’ responsibility for all travel and housing costs associated with the advanced clinical practicum courses.
Probation
Students who do not meet the minimum grade requirements stated above for MLSK course work will be placed on probation. In this period of time, students will be allowed to continue in the program under supervision, but will submit a petition which is an individualized plan of study for the next semester that is developed by the student in agreement with and signed by an academic advisor. All completed MLSK courses that fail to meet minimum grade requirements (C or 2.000 or better) must be repeated by the student. Students shall not be allowed to progress to the final semester until all courses in the previous semesters are successfully completed and a GPA of 2.000 is obtained.
Additional Requirements
The program requires 124 credit hours total, with 54 credit hours obtained in the junior/senior years to graduate. Students must complete a minimum of 42 upper division hours, 30 of which must be earned from the University of Wyoming.
Prerequisite for admission to the Medical Laboratory Sciences degree is completion of the Medical Laboratory Technician program at Casper College, or another accredited MLT program. Students interested in the MLS degree who already hold a bachelors degree should contact program director Jed Doxtater at jdoxtate@uwyo.edu.
