Why Study Medical Lab Sciences at UNI?

“I just completed the 3+1 program with Allen College in Medical Laboratory Science. After graduation, I will be working as a Medical Technologist at Pathology Labs in Ankeny, IA through UnityPoint Health - Des Moines.

I am grateful for my time at UNI and the opportunities that being a Biology major has offered. There are so many different paths you can pursue as a Biology major and UNI presented a variety of classes to help me find what I am passionate about and set me up for success.

The professors are amazing and truly care about your success inside and outside of the classroom. Thank you UNI!”
