The rapid expansion of basic medical information, methodology and technology in recent years has increased the demand for highly trained professional personnel in the clinical, research, and teaching laboratories. The training of such specialists as medical technologists (medical/clinical laboratory scientists), and cytotechnologists is all within the broad scope of the field of clinical science. The Bachelor of Science Degree in Clinical Science is designed to provide baccalaureate level preparation in the clinical science professions. A strong preclinical curriculum is combined within the science and liberal arts focus of the University. All eligible BS grads will need to apply to the Post Baccalaureate Certificate for the clinical internship program in either Medical Technology or Cytotechnology. Concentrations: Cytotechnology Medical Technology

The mission of the Clinical Sciences programs is to provide high quality education and professional preparation in cytotechnology and medical technology for a diverse student population, to prepare them for traditional and emerging roles as clinical science professionals. The goals of each of the programs, in addition to preparing entry-level clinical practitioners are to: Produce clinical scientists who can research, develop, evaluate and implement clinical skills and procedures utilizing a high degree of independent judgment and applied cognitive knowledge; Consult, where appropriate, with other members of the health care team; and Instill within graduates a sense of professionalism, dedication, and commitment to healthcare and their profession that will stay with them throughout their careers.
