The following courses are required: chemistry (including organic and quantitative analysis), biology (including microbiology), and mathematics (algebra and statistics)
- Courses taken at a college or university outside of the United States must be evaluated by the Education Credentials Evaluators (ECE)
- Affiliated students must successfully complete all pre-admission coursework and be recommended by the affiliate's Health Career Advisor

Documentation of Hepatitis B Virus Vaccination
Before a student is allowed to begin the program, he/she must have on file documentation that he/she has either begun or has finished the course of inoculations for the Hepatitis B virus vaccine. This documentation must be sent directly to the Program Director or his/her designate.
If the student has just begun, but has not yet finished, the series of inoculations at the start of the program, he/she must provide documentation that he/she has finished the course of inoculations as soon as possible in order to remain in the program.

All students must provide the results from tuberculosis tests in order to begin the program. Students should thereafter be tested annually for tuberculosis and should submit the results to the Program Director or his/her designate. Failure to comply can lead to dismissal from the program.
Required Rush University Medical Center OSHA, HIPPA, and Safety Training
Students are required to take all Medical Center training courses that apply to clinical laboratory scientists. These courses must be taken annually and are available through Rush University's LEAP Online system. Students failing to remain current in these training areas will not be allowed in the clinical laboratories.
