Medical Laboratory Sciences: M.S.
About this program
The master of science in medical laboratory science program gives students hands-on, in-depth professional skills and leadership competencies, preparing them to succeed in the increasingly clinical laboratory sciences sector. Students gain defined “bench-focused” technical competencies, and are trained in the regulatory and fiscal affairs that impact laboratory management. Our graduates are prepared to perform clinical laboratory testing and to complete the national certification examination in medical laboratory science (ASCP).
Accredited by the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Science (NAACLS), the program is not intended for those who are already certified medical technologists or who have completed a bachelor’s degree in MLS.
Benefits of the program include:
- Gaining a workforce-ready, well-rounded and marketable technical skill set
- Exposure to regulatory, fiscal and management aspects of laboratory practice
- Rapid and fixed time frame for degree completion (18 months)
- Internships integrated into the curriculum offer a leg up in the job market
