Clinical Laboratory Science
Major/Minor
The clinical laboratory scientist is a vital member of the health care team. The chief responsibilities of a clinical laboratory scientist include analysis of patients' samples in the areas of chemistry, hematology, and microbiology. Although approximately two-thirds of clinical laboratory scientists work in hospitals, career opportunities are also found in physicians' offices, clinics, commercial firms, research facilities, and veterinary clinics.
- The Clinical Laboratory Science program includes three years of undergraduate course work and a 12-month clinical laboratory curriculum in a clinical laboratory science program that is accredited by the American Medical Association Council on Medical Education through the National Accrediting Agency of Clinical Laboratory Sciences (NAACLS).
- Students who complete the program are eligible to take the national certification examination. Nearly all of Wright State's graduates pass this exam on their first attempt.
