Description
Utah Tech University offers a course of study leading to a Bachelor of Science in Medical Laboratory Science degree. During the first two years or pre-professional phase of study a student completes a minimum of 58 semester hours of coursework. The coursework includes but is not limited to: a) general education courses, including a statistic course; b) biology requisites that must include a course in microbiology and courses in human anatomy and physiology; and c) cognates in chemistry. After completion of the pre-professional phase of study and, through a competitive application process, a student may be selected to enter the final two years of study or the MLS professional program to which one cohort of 12-15 students is admitted per year. Admitted students spend three semesters completing MLS-specific courses on the Utah Tech campus. Upon successful completion of these courses, students are then assigned to one or more program-affiliated medical laboratories to complete a semester-long clinical internship. Program graduates are eligible to take the Medical Laboratory Scientist (MLS) national board certification examination offered by the American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP).
