Program Outcomes
Graduates of the University of Cincinnati (UC) medical laboratory science program consistently perform higher than the national average on the American Society for Clinical Pathology's Board of Certification Exam in medical laboratory science. Program outcomes are calculated following NAACLS guidelines and are based on students who began the second half of the program and graduated from the online BS, campus-based BS and campus-based certificate programs.
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected recent program outcomes.
