BIOLOGY - OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY AT EUREKA

 

Clinical Laboratory Science is conducted in cooperation with Saint Francis School of Medical Technology in Peoria, Illinois and St. John's School of Clinical Laboratory Science in Springfield, Illinois. The program prepares students for careers in medical laboratories, and in assisting pathologists and other medical professionals. Students spend three years studying at Eureka College and the fourth year (12 months) at Saint Francis or St. John's. Entry into the hospital schools is on a competitive basis. A student must successfully complete all general requirements and those for a major in Biology/Clinical Laboratory Science at the College, and must accumulate 92 semester hours of credit.
