Studying Medical Laboratory Sciences at Weber State

Weber State’s associate and bachelor level degree programs in medical laboratory sciences gives students who enjoy solving problems, and are already employed in medical laboratories, the skills to become certified laboratory professionals.

Medical Laboratory Sciences Highlights

Weber State was the first university in the world to offer both bachelor’s and associate’s degrees in medical laboratory sciences both on campus and completely online.

Out-of-state online students pay close to the same tuition rate as in-state students, and 100% of graduates find careers in clinical labs or go on to graduate school.

Beyond the Classroom

Because you’ll work in a medical laboratory while you’re completing your degree, you can use the skills you learn in class while on the job.

CAP and CLIA compliance

Approaches to teaching and supervision

What You CAN DO After Weber
