I am currently a senior and will be graduating in August. I chose UC’s MLS program for many reasons. For one, UC has a highly acclaimed MLS program with an exceptional certification success rate after graduation. Also, being located in Cincinnati, UC is surrounded by large, high-tech hospitals that offer access to up-to-date information in the field and provide many job opportunities. Plus, I live in Cincinnati, so it was meant to be.

I'm in my 4th year in the Medical Laboratory Science program at CAHS. I chose UC’s MLS program because it is one of the top-ranking programs in the nation for laboratory science. Additionally, the newly built CAHS building features brand-new student laboratories, which allow us to learn hands-on with top-of-the-line equipment. UC's program has a wonderful clinical placement and an above-average board of certification pass rate.
