Clinical Laboratory Science
The Clinical Laboratory Science program at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center is a growing, dynamic program with world class faculty and a state of the art laboratory facility. The program has the maximum accreditation from the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Science, and our students consistently score above the national average on external certification exams offered by the American Society of Clinical Pathology (ASCP) and the National Credentialing Agency for Laboratory Personnel (NCA).
Our program, a university-based 2+2 program, offers students a Bachelors Degree in Clinical Laboratory Science within one of three optional areas of special emphasis. The Standard Option prepares a student for a career primarily in a clinical setting such as a hospital, physician's office, laboratory, or a reference laboratory. The Pre-med Option is for students pursuing a graduate medical education through medical school, osteopathic school, veterinary school, or research graduate programs. The Pre-Physician Assistant Option is for students pursuing a graduate education in physician assistant studies.
Another offering of the Department of Laboratory Sciences and Primary Care is a Master of Science in Molecular Pathology.
