The Bachelor of Science in Medical Laboratory Sciences requires two years of prerequisite coursework followed by a two-and-a-half-year professional program. Typically, students gain admission to the professional phase after fulfilling all prerequisites. Alternatively, qualified candidates can enter directly into the final professional year upon completing both prerequisites and upper-level science requirements. Admissions occur annually for the fall semester. This hybrid program combines online learning (over 50% of coursework) with technology-enhanced instruction through digital modules. The National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences (NAACLS) fully accredits this MLS program.
