Undergraduate Majors
Introduction
Biomedical Laboratory Diagnostics Program prepares individuals for a career in the healthcare profession with a strong foundation in the basic sciences of chemistry, biology, mathematics and physics. Clinical Laboratory Sciences (CLS) is a challenging career as well as a satisfying and demanding profession for persons with an interest in the application of the basic sciences to the clinical diagnosis of disease. Clinical laboratory scientists contribute to the development and application of new technologies for the improved diagnosis of pathologic conditions. Specific courses focus on all of the major clinical disciplines including hematology, immunology/immunohematology, hemostasis, clinical microbiology, clinical chemistry and body fluids. Each course is designed to prepare students for their roles as laboratorians. In addition, students are introduced to the emerging discipline of molecular pathology and the role that it is beginning to play a very important role in the diagnosis, treatment, monitoring and prevention of disease.
