Medical Laboratory Science Curriculum
You’ll acquire a broad knowledge of basic and health sciences during your first three years. Your fourth year is spent in clinical rotations at an affiliated hospital, where you will gain invaluable experience working in state-of-the-art facilities with the latest medical equipment and devices. You may also obtain a part-time job in some of these labs as early as your second year.
