Repairs to the Science Building are now complete, and that facility will reopen on Tuesday, January 17, in time for the first day of the Spring 2023 semester.

If you are scheduled for a class in the VAB during the period of January 17-27, please check with your instructor whether it will occur in person or via remote modality.
The Bachelor of Science joint-degree program in Medical Laboratory Science with Rutgers University School of Health Professions qualifies students for certification examinations leading to professional licensure. Medical Laboratory Scientists provide vital data to physicians and other practitioners to assist in the diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of disease and maintenance of health. Medical Laboratory Scientists employ complex instrumentation and procedures to perform their duties. Major areas included in their work are: Clinical Chemistry, Clinical Microbiology, Hematology, Immunohematology (Blood Banking), Urinalysis and Serology. Students interested in this field should have a strong interest in science, have the capacity to learn technical skills, work accurately and reliably when under pressure, and effectively communicate with others. The program operates on a cohort basis, beginning in late May of each year. The application period opens on November 1 of the prior year, with an application deadline of March 1. Applicants are recommended to apply as early as possible due to the program’s competitiveness.
