Welcome to the Troy University's Biomedical Sciences: Medical Laboratory Science 3+1 Pathway
Troy University's Medical Laboratory Science (MLS) pathway provides students in the Biomedical Sciences program with an opportunity to complete specialized clinical laboratory training through Troy's affiliation with Baptist Medical Center South in Montgomery, Alabama.
Students complete approximately three years of coursework at Troy University toward the Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Sciences. Students who meet the required qualifications and are accepted into the Baptist Medical Center South School of Medical Laboratory Science complete an additional year of approved didactic, laboratory, and clinical coursework at Baptist South.
Approved coursework completed through Baptist Medical Center South is transferred back to Troy University and applied toward completion of the Biomedical Sciences degree. Upon successful completion of the Baptist South Medical Laboratory Science program, students are prepared to pursue the appropriate professional certification in Medical Laboratory Science.
Medical Laboratory Science, also known as Clinical Laboratory Science, is a science-based healthcare profession focused on the analysis of biological specimens used to assist healthcare providers in the diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of disease.
