The Laboratory Technology / Clinical Analysis program is designed for students who want a working foundation in running diagnostic and analytical laboratories — the technology behind hospital and crime labs. It is intended for methodical, hands-on students headed for laboratory bench work.
The program combines chemistry or biology with computer programming and applied laboratory coursework: instrumentation, quality control, sample handling, and the record-keeping that makes a result trustworthy.
Together, these requirements are intended to prepare students for hospital, clinic, and analytical laboratory roles, and continued study in laboratory science.
