Students in Medical Laboratory Sciences (Medical Technology) prepare to become medical laboratory scientists who work in the laboratory/diagnostic sector of the health professions industry and in research laboratories. Graduates have high levels of employment and can work across the United States. Medical laboratory sciences students are on campus for three academic years and then spend their senior year in a ten to twelve-month practicum at an accredited school of Medical Laboratory Sciences in a medical center. While students are studying at their practicum location, they follow the policies and procedures for the practicum institution.  Students are required to cover all costs associated with attending the practicum.  The University of Maine is affiliated with the School of Medical Laboratory Sciences at Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor, ME, Vanderbilt Universtiy Medical Center in Nashville, TN, and the Clinical Laboratory Scientist program at New York Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital in Brooklyn, NY. Juniors in the Medical Laboratory Sciences program apply directly to the practicum programs at our affiliated schools or other accredited programs for admission to the practicum. Obtaining admission to medical facilities offering a practicum is a competitive process and a student must have a minimum GPA of 2.5 overall and 2.5 in science and math courses to be considered for admission to most practicum programs. Completing coursework at the University of Maine does not guarantee a position in a practicum.  For enrollment in a practicum program, students must successfully undergo a health check, a criminal background check and a drug test at some practicum schools.  After completing the practicum, students are eligible to take the national accreditation examination administered by the American Society of Clinical Pathology.

The future of Biology involves solving complex problems that require broad knowledge. The Molecular & Integrative Biology program at UND emphasizes knowledge that spans across levels of biological organization, from the gene and cell, to the development and physiology of organisms, all the way up to species interacting in their environments.

• Students in the program are encouraged to gain the computational skills needed to analyze complex biological systems and datasets, learn about cutting edge genomic and molecular tools, and put that learning to practice.
• Students can pursue their passion by gaining valuable independent research experiences with excellent research faculty and laboratory environments.

Forecasts for careers in health care are off the charts, including the need for laboratory scientists. As a medical laboratory science major at USM, you’ll master the skills to run diagnostic tests to provide data for key physicians and nurses.
 

When you major in medical laboratory science at USM, you choose your path, with two choices:
 

Three years of course work followed by an internship

Or a traditional four-year program followed by an internship

The program prepares students for required academic internships with the School of Medical Laboratory Science at North Kansas City Hospital. The program is practical, also preparing students to ultimately pass national certifying examinations.

The BS in Cell and Molecular Biology prepares students for graduate studies or work in biomedical fields. Laboratory experiences include opportunities for students to conduct original research working closely with a faculty mentor. This degree is also appropriate for professional schools including medical, dental, and veterinary schools. Note that some professional/graduate schools require a full year of physics. Students should work closely with their academic advisor to plan their coursework.

As a molecular biology major at ONU, you’ll map genes using fruit flies (as part of an NSF-funded multi-institution course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE)), test the ability of chemicals to mutate DNA, and clone genes. You’ll explore exciting breakthroughs in stem cell technology and microRNA molecules and debate the ethical and social issues involved. 

Large institutions just can’t provide the individualized attention and opportunity you’ll find here. As a freshman, you’ll be in the lab working with real professors – not graduate assistants or lab instructors. Throughout your four years, you’ll design and conduct your own experiments, work on independent projects, and assist professors with grant-funded research. Most molecular biology students present their research at regional and national conferences. 

The field of genomics is transforming the field of biology and making an impact in the fields of oncology, pharmacology, and infectious disease. Together with molecular genetics (a branch of genetics that studies the structure and activity of genetic material at the molecular level), scientists are discovering the DNA blueprints of organisms and how their construction, regulation, and mutation contributes to human diseases.

Experts in the field of genomics and molecular genetics not only scrutinize the functioning and composition of a single gene, but also understand the interrelationships of genes to identify their combined influence on the growth and development of the organism. Students in the genomics and molecular genetics degree program at Florida Tech explore this scientific relationship, developing the knowledge to solve real-world problems like antibiotic-resistant bacteria and curing cancer.

Professors immediately immerse students in the field, with access to modern genetic, genomic, cellular, and molecular approaches to the study of biology. The curriculum establishes a solid foundation in chemistry, biochemistry, physics, and mathematics, along with robust research projects.

The degree in genomics and molecular genetics program at Florida Tech concentrates on understanding the interactions between DNA, RNA, proteins in cells, and molecular genetics in an interdisciplinary field that reveals how life functions at both the molecular and organismal level.

The science and pre-veterinary medical concentration is specifically designed for students interested in graduate school, professional training, or technical positions after the undergraduate degree.
