Pre-Medical Laboratory Science
Offered by Health Science Programs
The following three year pre-professional program is based on the requirements for admission to the Medical Laboratory Science Program in the School of Allied Health Professions at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. A minimum 77 semester credit hours of pre-medical laboratory science courses must be completed at UNK. The Medical Laboratory Science Program at UNMC is an 11 month program. Students will receive a Bachelor’s Degree from UNMC upon completion of the clinical training.
While other medical laboratory science programs may be similar, the student is urged to contact the specific school of his or her choice to determine any suggested variations of this pre-professional schedule. Students must apply for positions in medical laboratory science programs and the competition is intense. Therefore admission is never guaranteed.
