Medical Laboratory Science (MLS) is defined as the branch of medicine concerned with
the performance of laboratory determinations and analyses used in the diagnosis and
treatment of disease. This profession combines the challenges and rewards of medicine
and science.
The Medical Laboratory Science Department administers the MLS program under the auspices
of ULM's College of Health Sciences. The program is a minimum four-year curriculum,
which includes a solid foundation in basic sciences, a broad background in medical
laboratory science with several specialized courses, and sufficient non-science courses
to provide the student with a well-rounded education.
