Laboratory Science (LBSC) - Histotechnology Track
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 concentration prepares students to work in diagnostic histology labs. Upon degree conferral, graduates are able to gain employment through East Alabama Healthcare to receive clinical experience required for the Histotechnologist (HT) certification through Americal Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP).
