Prepare for the Clinical Lab Science Program – Register Starting April 23

Summer Pre-CLS Classes

Take the courses you need before you start the Clinical Lab Science (CLS) program. You don't have to be an admitted SFSU student to take our prerequisite courses.

Why Take Our Pre-CLS Prerequisite Courses?
✔ Aligned with California Department of Public Health standards
✔ Hands-on lab practicum to apply what you learn
✔ Weekly one-on-one time with CLS faculty
✔ Small class sizes for personalized support
✔ Career guidance and networking to help you plan your path

New: Exclusive Advantage for SFSU CLS Students
If you are currently enrolled in CLS prerequisite courses through the SFSU CLS department, we will accept coursework that is still in progress at the time you submit your application. Courses scheduled to be completed in the same semester as your application will be considered pending.

This policy offers a smoother path to the CLS program for students already taking their prerequisites with us, helping you stay on track without delays.

Save the Date
Registration for summer 2025 opens April 23. Check the class schedule and sign up early to reserve your spot.
