The MLS programs at WSU aim to provide the highest standards of education to future lab professionals

The Department offers two Medical Laboratory Sciences programs: A two year AAS degree in Medical Laboratory Sciences (MLS) / Medical Laboratory Technology (MLT), and a four year BS degree in Medical Laboratory Sciences (MLS) / Medical Technology (MT). Each of these degrees is offered both as on-campus and online programs. Those interested in either the online AAS/BS in MLS program must be currently employed in a hospital or clinical laboratory.

Some students might have this Friday off for fall break, but science never rests!

MLS research students continued to process and stain mouse tissues as part of a study looking for iNKT cells involved in melanoma tumor response. Go Science!!

Research students from Medical Laboratory Sciences and the Department of Zoology are spending their summer break investigating the role of invariant Natural Killer T (iNKT) cells in a mouse melanoma disease model.

The students are working long days processing lymph nodes, spleens, and tumor samples to then identify iNKTs using flow cytometry.

Science never stops, even when it’s summer!

MLS undergraduate research students presented at the National Conference on Undergraduate Research in Richmond, Virginia.

We are incredibly proud of the work these future laboratory scientists shared on a national stage. Their dedication to research and commitment to the field of Medical Laboratory Sciences reflects the strength of our program and the future of laboratory medicine.

F***l Fest 2026: K-POOP Intestinal Demon Hunters

Another year, another battle… and this time, our Clinical Microbiology students took on parasites like true K-poop demon hunters.

After weeks of collecting their own samples, the stage was set for an epic showdown. Armed with microscopes instead of mics, students tracked down the most elusive intestinal “demons” hiding in plain sight. 🪱👀

The competition was fierce, the vibes were immaculate, and the stakes? Legendary. Those who uncovered the most parasites earned the coveted F***l Fest Button a symbol of honor that will live on their lab coats and at graduation for years to come.

Talent. Precision. A little chaos.
Just another iconic year of F***l Fest.
