Overview

Students in Louisville can choose between two tracks to earn a Bachelor of Health Science in Medical Laboratory Science (the 4-year Practitioner or Pre-Professional track). Our new hybrid MLS program was designed for students who already have an associate’s or bachelor’s degree and are interested in pursuing a second degree.

Medical Lab Science: Lab Practitioner

The Bachelor of Health Science in Medical Laboratory Science: Lab Practitioner track is designed to facilitate students’ acquisition of knowledge, analytical skills and technical expertise in clinical chemistry, medical microbiology, immunohematology, hematology and clinical immunology. The traditional degree program includes two years of general education requirements and biology and chemistry prerequisites.

Students apply for the Medical Laboratory Science program at Bellarmine University in their sophomore year and enter during their junior year for two years of specialized study including a clinical practicum at an affiliated Louisville-area hospital. Upon successful completion of the degree program, graduates are eligible for national Board examinations.
