The
Post-Baccalaureate Certificate Program is designed to
provide students with clinical training and necessary
course work in the field of Clinical Laboratory Science.
The certificate program is structured to assist candidates
in obtaining training through a NAACLS-accredited institution.
Graduates of the program will receive the Post-Baccalaureate
Certificate in Clinical Laboratory Science and will
be eligible to take a national certification examination,
which is required for most hospital-based laboratory
positions. Many laboratories hire "registry-eligible"
graduates with the understanding that the certification
exam will be taken and passed within a specified period
of time.
