Master of Health Science in Clinical Laboratory Science

Augusta University grants a Master of Health Science in Clinical Laboratory Science. The student must have a baccalaureate degree approved by the department from an accredited college/university.

This is an entry-level degree and upon graduation, the student would be eligible to sit for the national certification examinations. The program is 5 semesters long and culminates in a research or capstone project. This program will also offer courses in evidence-based practice, clinical services delivery, epidemiology, and education principles. This degree will prepare the student for practice in research, management, and education as well as practice as a clinical laboratory scientist.

The College of Allied Health Sciences at Augusta University trains and educates today’s healthcare professionals: the therapists, technicians, administrators, managers, and assistants who are the backbone of our country’s healthcare workforce. As the nation’s population ages and increasingly struggles with chronic disease and disability, as well as health care reform, our mission of educating premier health care professionals has never been more vital.

We stay on the leading edge of national trends and advances in science, technology, and professionalism. In just the last decade, we have expanded our graduate programs nearly 250 percent, bolstered our clinical mission, and multiplied our research initiatives threefold. Our students enjoy clinical opportunities across Georgia. We were an early proponent of interdisciplinary and distance education, and we continue to lead the way with our innovative programs.
