Bachelor of Science in General Science with Concentration in Medical Laboratory Science (STEM)

Program Overview

The B.S. in General Science is offered with a concentration in medical laboratory science for students planning to apply to UNMC’s Medical Laboratory Science Program (MLS). This program was designed in collaboration with UNMC to allow a student to complete two Bachelor’s degrees in as little as 122 credits. Students will apply to UNO’s General Science program and add on the medical laboratory science concentration. Following the guide below allows the student to complete UNO’s general education requirements and UNMC’s MLS pre-requisite coursework in no more than three years. Near the beginning of the student’s third year of UNO studies, they will need to apply to UNMC’s MLS program. Provided that the student has followed the curriculum as laid out below, and maintained a cumulative or math/science GPA of 3.0, he/she will be guaranteed an interview with UNMC’s MLS program. Upon acceptance into UNMC’s MLS program, students will complete 11 months of studies in specific MLS courses. After completion of the MLS program at UNMC, students may transfer their UNMC coursework back to UNO to earn a dual degree of BS MLS from UNMC/ BS GSCI-MLS concentration from UNO. Students must have a minimum of 30 credits in residence at UNO and of those, 15 credits must come from the natural and physical sciences.
