Pre-Professional Program Curriculum 
MS in Medical Laboratory Science

The MS in Medical Laboratory Science program is a two-year, full-time program requiring 70 credit hours for completion. Classes are taught in a hybrid environment and include recorded, asynchronous lectures as well as timed assessments and written assignments.

Students will participate in monthly, one-day intensive laboratory sessions at 黑料传送门 Georgia. Students will work with state-of-the-art equipment, performing labs that will prepare them for clinical based internships for the second-year of the degree.

During the second year of the program, students will be placed in hospital laboratories or reference laboratories for three semesters of clinical rotations in each of the major five disciplines of medical laboratory science. Students will complete the unpaid internships alongside seasoned technologists, performing side by side work to gain technique, experience, and training for their future career goals. In the final semester, an intensive review course is required, and is designed to prepare students for the national certification exam. 

Clinical Rotations

Clinical rotation sites are located throughout Georgia, with a substantial concentration around 黑料传送门 Georgia (Suwanee, GA) and 黑料传送门 South Georgia (Moultrie, GA). Despite concentrations in these locations, space in these rotation sites is still limited and it may become necessary for students to accept the financial impact of traveling and living out of town for a portion of their clinical assignments.

The program will make every effort to place all students on clinical rotations, making every attempt to select sites for students that are near them. However, occasionally a scheduled clinical experience at an external site may be unavailable due to circumstances beyond the control of 黑料传送门, and failure to complete all required clinical rotations may delay a student鈥檚 graduation. Since the clinical rotation is required, the program may place a student in a site at some distance from the student.
