Medical Laboratory Science (MLS) Articulation
Degree Type
Bachelor of Science
The Bachelor of Science degree program in Medical Laboratory Sciences is awarded jointly with the Rutgers University School of Health Professions (Rutgers-SHP).
Students must complete specified degree requirements at Felician University before they can enter the Rutgers-SHP for their professional coursework. Program graduates will receive a B.S. in MLS, with eligibility for national certification, where applicable. Students may attend Felician University on a full or part-time basis.
Medical Laboratory Sciences
Medical Laboratory Scientists perform a wide variety of laboratory procedures that aid in the diagnosis, treatment, prevention and monitoring of disease.
The major areas within this discipline include blood banking, clinical chemistry, hematology, clinical immunology, clinical microbiology, and urinalysis. Many employment opportunities are available in hospital clinical laboratories as well as private and government laboratories, Health Maintenance Organizations (HMO’s), pharmaceutical companies, research organizations, and universities.
The curriculum consists of classroom instruction and student laboratory experiences integrated with clinical practice at affiliated clinical laboratories.
Additional experiences are provided in laboratory management, education, research, instrumentation, and computers.
The Medical Laboratory Sciences Program is fully accredited by the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences (NAACLS) (http://www.naacls.org/).
