Bachelor of Science - Medical Laboratory Science

Laboratory analysis by medical laboratory scientists plays a critical role, along with that of the physician, in disease diagnosis, treatment, and health maintenance. Medical laboratory scientists are professionals who are prepared not only to produce laboratory data but also to assure the quality of those data, compare and select laboratory methods, advise other health care professionals on the validity of data, and supervise laboratory personnel.

Students who love the sciences and want an opportunity to help physicians and patients with their knowledge, this major may be ideal for them.

The Bachelor of Science - Medical Laboratory Science program is currently applying for accreditation through the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences. A student's eligibility to take some certification examinations may depend on whether the program achieves "serious applicant" status.
