Pre-Medical Laboratory Science 3+1
Advisor: Dr. Andrea Castillo
(158 credits)
This curriculum is recommended for students planning a career in Medical Laboratory Science.
Note: There are two options for the Medical Laboratory Science (MLS) preparation, 4+1 and 3+1.
The 4+1 option indicates the student will graduate from EWU with a B.S. in Biology in 4 (or
more) years and then attend a MLS program for an additional year. With the 4+1 option, students
are no longer eligible for financial aid support during their year in the MLS program. The 3+1
option indicates the student will spend 3 (or more) years fulfilling the appropriate prerequisite
courses at EWU and then spend a year as a MLS student. After completing the MLS program, the
student will graduate from EWU with a B.S. in Biology and also graduate from the MLS
program. The advantage of the 3+1 program is that students may receive financial aid while they
are in the MLS program. For either option, students must apply for the MLS program the fall
prior to the year (July) they hope to attend the program.
