Medical Laboratory Sciences
The Department of Medical Laboratory Sciences (MLS) prepares students to play a central role in the detection, diagnosis and treatment of disease. Our students graduate prepared to work in hospitals, research facilities and more, to be problem solvers in an ever-changing field.
MLS offers a ladder-format program, with the four-year curriculum divided into two programs, the Associate of Applied Science program followed by the Bachelor of Science program. Students apply for the AAS first, then later apply for the BS degree.
For the online AAS and BS degree programs, students must have a supporting site for clinical rotations to qualify.
The Department of Medical Laboratory Sciences advises its own students. Email mls@weber.edu to contact the department advisors.

Helpful Information
- Your program prerequisites may have pre- or co-requisites. If choosing Track II in the MLS bachelor degree program, you will need to complete prerequisites before you are able to enroll in CHEM 1210 or MICR 2054.
- Track II pre-med students should also attend a pre-med meeting hosted by the College of Science. Find the next meeting by visiting the College of Science calendar website.
- Don’t forget math and English general education requirements, which can be found on our Math and English Requirements website as well as the WSU Placement website.
Health Sciences or Zoology Anatomy & Physiology
The following video spells out the differences between the Health Sciences Integrated Human Anatomy & Physiology (HTHS) class series, or the Zoology Human Anatomy & Physiology (ZOOL) class series. Each series consists of two classes.
Students need to complete either the HTHS or ZOOL series for entrance into most College of Health Professions programs.
