The Clinical Laboratory Science Program at ECU consists of two years of pre-professional coursework which includes four semesters of chemistry and three semesters of biology as well as completion of general education requirements. During the sophomore year, students apply to the professional program which begins in the Fall Semester of the junior year. The professional program is five semesters in length and includes courses in the four major disciplines within clinical laboratory science - hematology, clinical chemistry, microbiology, and immunohematology. During the senior year, students spend part of their time in a clinical setting practicing what they have learned in the classroom. Additional classes in management, education, and special topics are also taken on campus. The Clinical Laboratory Science Program at ECU will expand the student's capacity to lead, help them recognize their unique strengths, and apply ECU's Integrated Leadership Framework to inspire, empower, and influence positive action for the benefit of society. The department's educational program is accredited by the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences and graduates are eligible for national certification as medical technology generalists (Clinical Laboratory Scientist or Medical Technologist).
