The following areas are available:
Minor in Employee Training and Development
Bachelor of Health Sciences
The Bachelor of Health Sciences (BHS) is designed to prepare students for two career areas: 1) clinical laboratory science (CLS) and 2) cytotechnology (CT). The BHS combines course work taken through the Biology Department at UM-St. Louis with clinical experiences at Barnes Jewish Hospital and throughout the BJC Systems of member hospitals and clinics.
The clinical laboratory science program prepares students to perform analytical tests on body fluids cells and products. The students will learn to identify possible discrepancies in data, confirm abnormal results and develop solutions to problems concerning the generation of laboratory data.
The cytotechnology program prepares students to be knowledgeable about all of the normal cells from numerous body sites, as well as those changes encountered due to neoplasia, infectious agents, viruses, and other causative agents. Graduates will be able to perform cytologic evaluations of body fluids, cells and fine-needle aspirations.
The BHS curricula was developed in collaboration with the Jewish Hospital College of Nursing and Allied Health. The course requirements are listed below. Consult the departmental section of this Bulletin for course descriptions and prerequisites.
