Applying for the Certificate in MLS

Most post-baccalaureate students have satisfied the general education requirements upon admission.

Some may need to complete additional science courses, particularly if the bachelor’s degree is in a non-science discipline.

All prerequisite coursework must be completed before the start of the Clinical Year each Fall Semester.

To enter the Clinical Year Program, students must complete the following pre-clinical fundamental courses at the Berrien Springs campus, the summer prior to the beginning of the Clinical Year.

If equivalent courses were previously taken, these requirements can possibly be waived. Contact the Program Director to request an evaluation of course equivalency.

Application Process

• Individuals interested in the Certificate Program must apply and be admitted to both the Clinical Year Program and Andrews University. 

  • The application to Andrews University may be submitted online here.

  • You must have your transcripts evaluated by an approved foreign transcript evaluation agency and provide a report of the evaluation.

• The Clinical Year application should be submitted directly to the MLS Department no later than January 31 of the year an applicant is planning to begin the Program. (e.g. If planning to begin the Clinical Year in Fall 2018, the application is due on January 31, 2018). Applications received after this date may be considered for admissions.
