Laboratory Science (LBSC)
This curriculum prepares students for laboratory careers in fields such as public health, bacteriology, environmental testing, industrial quality control, research, non-diagnostic laboratory testing, and forensic science. This program allows for great versatility in the junior or senior years, allowing the curriculum to be tailored to individual goals. Concentration tracks are offered for Pre-Medicine, Pre-Physician Assistant, and Histotechnology. Graduates may choose to pursue an accredited clinical internship to qualify for Medical Laboratory Scientist certification.
