Upon successful completion of the Bachelor of Science degree in Medical Laboratory Science, the student is eligible for the certification examination offered by the American Society of Clinical Pathologists (ASCP).
There is not a full clinical rotation for the program, rather students complete required clinical tasks in courses taken in the final semester of the program. Most students in the program are working either full or part-time and can manage the required tasks while working.
Most medical laboratory scientists are employed in hospital laboratories, while others find employment in physician’s offices, the armed forces, and state and federal health agencies.
Graduates have continued their education to become physicians, dentists, physical therapists, health care computer specialists, hospital administrators, pharmaceutical salespersons, college professors, biomedical researchers, attorneys and scientific device reviewers.
