Choosing a Great Clinical/Medical Laboratory Science School for Your Bachelor's Degree

Your choice of clinical/medical laboratory science for getting your bachelor's degree school matters. Important measures of a quality clinical laboratory science program can vary widely even among the top schools. Below we explain some of the most important factors to consider before making your choice:

Overall Quality Is a Must

The overall quality of a bachelor's degree school is important to ensure a quality education, not just how well they do in a particular major. To take this into account we include a school's overall Best Colleges ranking which itself looks at a host of various factors like degree completion, educational resources, student body caliber and post-graduation earnings for the school as a whole.

Average Early-Career Salaries

Average early-career salary of those graduating with their bachelor's degree is one indicator we use in our analysis to find the schools that offer the highest-quality education. After all, your bachelor's degree won't mean much if it doesn't help you find a job that will help you earn a living.

Other Factors We Consider

The metrics below are just some of the other metrics that we use to determine our rankings.

• Major Focus - How much a school focuses on clinical/medical laboratory science students vs. other majors.
• Major Demand - How many other clinical/medical laboratory science students want to attend this school to pursue a bachelor's degree.
• Educational Resources - How many resources are allocated to students. These resources may include educational expenditures per student, number of students per instructor, and graduation rate among other things.
• Student Debt - How much debt clinical/medical laboratory science students go into to obtain their bachelor's degree and how well they are able to pay back that debt.
• Accreditation - Whether a school is regionally accredited and/or accredited by a recognized clinical/medical laboratory science related body.

Our full ranking methodology documents in more detail how we consider these factors to identify the best schools for clinical/medical laboratory science students working on their bachelor's degree.
