MLT-to-MLS – Program Curriculum
The MLT-to-MLS curriculum requires 45 credits of upper level MLS courses for a total of 120 credits for a Bachelor of Science in Medical Laboratory Sciences degree.
A key component of the MLT-to-MLS Curriculum is the use of Case Study and Development in lieu of traditional clinical internships. Students will develop higher level clinical analysis during these courses to prepare for MLS level technical roles.
