In addition to examining blood, tissue and body-fluid specimens through a microscope, a CLS is responsible for operating and correlating sophisticated and complex instrumentation. A CLS is a problem-solver who likes challenge and responsibility. These individuals are very reliable, work well under pressure and set high standards for themselves. In addition, this very important job – that often determines the course of treatment for patients – requires excellent communication skills, a deep commitment to the profession and a continued fascination with science. College of DuPage offers a two-year Associate in Science degree transfer program. After earning an A.S. degree at College of DuPage, a student then makes a seamless transfer to one of C.O.D.’s affiliated institutions as a junior to pursue a bachelor’s degree in Clinical Lab Science. The links to the right on this page provide detailed information about the CLS transfer program.
