Medical Laboratory Science Programs

The UC MS-MLSL (Master of Medical Laboratory Science Leadership) program offers a two-year program designed primarily for working adults using an asynchronous distance learning approach. The program enrolled its first students in the spring of 2021. The curriculum focuses on a leadership core along with concentrations in health administration and management, higher education, molecular diagnostics and immunohematology. A portion of the MS-MLSL curriculum forms the foundation for the DCLS curriculum; providing a bridge for career and academic advancement.
