CLINICAL LABORATORY SCIENCE PROGRAM INFORMATION

As a student in this program, each quarter you will be assigned to a small cohort of students led by a clinical laboratory science course director and facilitator. This learning community will interact with you through online communication tools such as message boards, chat sessions, and e-mail. All course content will be delivered directly to you via the course web site or materials sent to your home, such as multimedia lectures and demonstrations. Clinical experiences can typically be completed in your local community.
