The UW-Casper Medical Laboratory Sciences (MLS) program is located within the UW College of Health Sciences, under the School of Pharmacy, and is offered on the UW-Casper campus.

The MLS program is composed of 60 credit hours of course work between the junior and senior years, with the final semester being reserved for advanced clinical practicum courses.

The program curriculum is based on major requirements of the University of Wyoming’s School of Health Science, and program specific requirements for NAACLS accreditation. Required coursework will be administered in either a synchronous or asynchronous online format, or in a distance hybrid manner. The MLS program specific course content encompasses such disciplines as clinical chemistry, hematology, immunology, immunohematology. microbiology, urinalysis, molecular methods, laboratory management, clinical research design and laboratory education methodology.

The delivery of all MLS course content will occur in a online education format, consisting of the online presentation of didactic and instructional content, supplemented with on campus lab sessions. Students will meet at the UW-Casper campus periodically for the courses that require a lab component, or face to face interaction. Successful completion of all required MLS course offerings will result in a B.S. degree from the University of Wyoming, and candidacy for the national certification examination.
