| Program Information |
| The Division of Medical Laboratory Science offers a graduate program leading to the Master of Science degree in Clinical Laboratory Science, non-thesis option. The course of study enhances the student's knowledge and skills in several major categorical areas of clinical laboratory science. The curriculum is designed to prepare students for careers as administrative laboratory directors, clinical laboratory consultants, technical supervisors or laboratory educators. Students are required to come on campus for four, one week experiences.
This program is offered both on campus and through distance learning. The primary method of distance learning course delivery is WEB based and/or CD. Because of this, students are required to have access to the Internet. Specific computer requirements are available from the CLS program. A limited number of teaching and research assistantships are available for students wishing to study on campus.
