Use your health-related science degree to become licensed in the high-demand Medical Laboratory Science field.
Want to become a Medical Laboratory Scientist and already have a BS degree in Biology, Chemistry, Biochemistry or another health-related field? With Elmira College’s Post-Baccalaureate Medical Laboratory Science Program, you’ll get a competitive edge when entering this thriving career field.
You’ll take hands-on, experiential courses commonly required to become a medical laboratory scientist. You’ll get plenty of lab experience, learning foundational skills that are needed for success in this field including pipetting, making solutions, microscopy, use of common scientific equipment, designing and troubleshooting experiments, and lab safety. You’ll also get help finding and applying to MLS certificate programs
Entering the Medical Laboratory Science field means performing important medical tests that monitor health and diagnose diseases. Medical Laboratory Scientists (also called Medical Laboratory Technologists) typically work in laboratories at hospitals, veterinary clinics, forensic laboratories, medical diagnostic companies, universities, or at biotechnology companies. That’s why Medical Laboratory Scientists are in high demand. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, job growth in this field is expected to grow 7% between 2021 and 2031. But entering this field requires admission to a highly competitive clinical laboratory training program. At EC, you’ll receive individual guidance, support, and skills that will give you a competitive advantage.
EC alumni have been admitted to the Guthrie-Sayre Medical Laboratory Technology Program, the University of Rochester Medical Technology Training Program, and the UPMC Chautauqua Medical Laboratory Science Program. And our alumni frequently return to offer advice to current students.
Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis and admission is competitive.
The program is tailored to each student to provide them with the coursework that they specifically need. The following courses are required for entrance into most Medical Laboratory Science certificate programs. If these courses have been taken in the past, they do not need to be repeated as long as a grade of "C" or higher was obtained.
