Master of Science in Medical Laboratory Sciences
Our students learn to use cutting-edge technologies and techniques as laboratory professionals who analyze blood and body fluids to help identify, treat and prevent hundreds of diseases and conditions — from thyroid problems to diabetes, from leukemia to hepatitis.
The results of laboratory professionals’ work touch countless lives. The work that laboratory professionals do affects up to 70 percent of all major patient-care-related decisions. Our graduates are critical to saving and enhancing lives and contributing to research and clinical breakthroughs.
The Master of Science in Medical Laboratory Sciences is an option for students who hold a bachelor's degree from a college or university and wish to pursue a career as a medical laboratory scientist.
Graduates of our program will be able to sit for the certification examination for medical laboratory scientists administered by the American Society for Clinical Pathology Board of Certification (BOC).
