UNH has the only four-year, NAACLS-accredited medical laboratory science program in New Hampshire, giving students a path to become certified medical laboratory scientists with the American Society of Clinical Pathology. Our faculty teach all the lab courses, help students gain hands-on experience performing immunological, biochemical, molecular and microbiological procedures, and prepare students for jobs in this high-demand field. We offer excellent internship opportunities through affiliations with Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center, NorDx/Maine Medical Center and other regional hospitals, medical centers and diagnostic facilities. In 2017, 100 percent of medical laboratory science majors who look the clinical pathology boards within one year of graduation passed.

The Medical Laboratory Sciences (MLS) program is NAACLS accredited and follows accreditation requirements. Students in this option take four Foundation courses, five Bioscience Core courses, six required BMS:MLS core courses, and five Major Elective courses. One capstone experience, supervised and approved within the major, is required of all seniors. The capstone explores areas of interest based on the integration of prior learning. In addition, all other University academic requirements must be completed, including those for Discovery Program and the University Writing Requirement. A grade of C-minus or above is required in BMS:MLS Core Courses.
