Bachelor of Science - Clinical Laboratory Sciences

Clinical laboratory scientists (also known as medical technologists or technicians) play essential roles in today's hospitals and medical practices. Whether identifying infections, delivering safe blood products for transfusions, or evaluating metabolic function, Clinical Laboratory scientists help patients and their physicians make the best medical decisions possible. The field currently faces a shortage of qualified professionals, leading to excellent career prospects nationally and locally.

This program builds a solid foundation in the sciences while providing hands-on experience with current medical technologies. Nazareth's Uncommon Core enriches this foundation, developing ethical professionals dedicated to offering the best health care.

Upon completion of this program, students are prepared for board exams leading to certification by the American Society for Clinical Pathology and licensure by New York state. With this bachelor's degree and these credentials, graduates are ready for careers in health care and research settings or to pursue further studies at graduate or medical schools.
