There are three options for baccalaureate degree holders. The first two options are undergraduate and will take two years of full time enrollment to complete.
Option 1 is to complete only the professional MLS curriculum and earn a “Certificate of Study” that will combine with your previous B.S. to make you ASCP eligible. Please check with ASCP to make sure your B.S. degree will meet the guidelines set forth by the ASCP Board of Registry (BOR).
Option 2 is to earn a second B.S. degree in medical laboratory sciences. For this option you would need to meet all general education curriculum requirements of The Ohio State University in addition to completing the MLS curriculum. For some students (depending on your existing credits) this may be completed in the same two-year timeframe, but not always.
Option 3 is to apply to our Coordinated Graduate Track and earn ASCP eligibility after two years and an M.S. degree after three years of full time enrollment.
