Online MLT to MLS Program

The online MLT to MLS program is intended as a bridge for certified Medical Lab Technicians (MLTs) who are working and want to complete a Bachelor’s in Clinical (Medical) Laboratory Science. This is a new degree program offered by the Department of Clinical Laboratory Science (CLS) in addition to the in-person programs (BS in CLS, double major in CLS and Biology, and 3+2 dual degree BS in CLS/BS in Biology).

Admission Requirements

Students who have earned either an AS or AA degree from a North Carolina Community College qualify for a General Education waiver. Information about the General Education waiver can be found on ECU’s Transfer Hub.

Additional prerequisite courses will likely be required for all applicants. These prerequisite courses can be completed at the university or another accredited institution. Please note that a total of 60 credits must be taken at a senior institution, and a minimum of 30 credits must be completed at ECU, in order for the university to grant the degree.

Students who have earned an AAS degree do not qualify for a General Education waiver and must complete the university’s General Education requirements as well as program prerequisite courses.

For information regarding specific courses, refer to the “CAA Baccalaureate Degree Plans.” Clinical Laboratory Science is listed on this page.
