Ball State University

Medical laboratory scientists play a vital role in diagnosing and preventing diseases by conducting a variety of complex laboratory tests in hospitals, doctors’ offices, medical and diagnostic laboratories, and in educational and research settings. According to Forbes, we are currently experiencing a shortage for medical laboratory scientists, which mean they are in high demand! As a Ball State student in the medical technology major, you will learn how to conduct laboratory work in bacteriology, chemistry, serology (reactions and properties of serums), and blood bank technology, which are all skills needed in the industry. After three years of study, you will finish with an intensive clinical laboratory program to gain hands-on experience.
