Bachelor [Clinical Laboratory Science] From Marquette University

Clinical placements before you graduate

In your senior year of the clinical laboratory science major, you'll be guaranteed a six-month clinical placement in one of the respected hospitals or large clinics located just minutes from campus — a great "been there, done that" advantage for when you take your certification exam.

Pre-med? Think about it

If you are considering a career in medicine, the major in clinical laboratory science can help you become a more complete doctor. With your preparation for professional lab work, you'll be a doctor who knows how to order the right tests and interpret the results.

Learn from the pros

All your major courses will be taught by professors and instructors who are certified clinical laboratory scientists, not teaching assistants.

You'll be in demand

The demand for certified clinical laboratory scientists exceeds supply — there’s a critical national shortage of these experts. Employment opportunities — and pay — for new graduates are high.

Pass with flying colors

Marquette's clinical laboratory science majors have no trouble making the grade. Ninety-nine percent of our graduates pass the certification exam on their first try. The national average is only 80 percent.
