Pathophysiology (GVSU: BMS 310)

Starting fall 2022 Pathophysiology replaced Physics (GVSU: PHY 200) as a prerequisite for the MLS program. If you took Physics prior to fall 2023 the MLS program will accept that course in place of Pathophysiology. Applicants that took Physics fall 2023 or later will still need to complete Pathophysiology unless they have received approval from the MLS program in advance of taking the course. Applicants that have questions should schedule an appointment with a College of Health Professions academic advisor.

The General Education Program at GVSU

The Medical Laboratory Science (MLS) program requires the completion of the "Foundations, Cultures, Issues, and 1 SWS prior to the winter start of the program.

The General Education (GE) program at GVSU is part of your overall degree requirements and consists of four areas;

Foundations (9 courses) Physical Science, Life Science, Writing, Arts, Philosophy & Literature, Mathematical Sciences, Social & Behavioral Sciences, Historical Analysis
Cultures (2 courses) Global Perspectives, U.S. Diversity
Issues (2 courses)
Supplemental Writing Skills - SWS (2 courses)

The following MLS major courses are required and meet a GVSU General Education requirement as noted in parentheses.

CHM 109 (Foundations: Physical Science w/ Lab)
BIO 120 (Foundations: Life Science w/ Lab)
STA 215 (Foundations: Mathematical Sciences)
INT 201 (Foundations: Social & Behavioral Sciences & US Diversity)
MLS 495 (SWS)

Michigan Transfer Agreement (MTA):

Students that have attended a Michigan Community College and have met specific course requirements as outlined by their community college may be eligible for the MTA stamp. GVSU will award credit for the General Education Foundations and 1-SWS upon successful complettion of the MTA and the receipt of an official commumity college transcript bearing the MTA credential. If you are unsure of how this process works please contact the records office at your Michigan community college for further assistance. To learn more about the MTA click the link below.
