Clinical Laboratory Sciences Collaborative Program
Dr. Katherine Wydner, Coordinator
Saint Peter’s University and Rutgers University offer a collaborative program leading to the Bachelor of Science in clinical laboratory sciences with a concentration in medical laboratory science. Clinical laboratory science majors complete all pre-professional and general education requirements at Saint Peter’s University before beginning the 12 to 15 month (4 semesters) of clinical/professional training at the Rutgers School of Health Professions and affiliated clinical/research facilities.
