About

This major is intended for those students who plan to obtain advanced graduate or medical degrees. Students in this major are encouraged to perform independent study research projects with faculty.

This major is licensure qualifying and is intended for those students who plan to take the New York State Education Department (NYSED) licensure exam for clinical laboratory technologists. A license is required to work as a clinical laboratory technologist in NYS. Clinical laboratory technologists perform analytical tests on patient samples and play an essential role in the diagnosis and treatment of disease. The Clinical Science major requires students to perform a departmentally-arranged eight-week full time summer internship in a hospital or private diagnostic laboratory. Students in the Clinical Science major may also pursue advanced graduate and medical degrees.

This program provides an accelerated pathway for students with degrees in chemistry, biology or the physical sciences to meet NYS licensure requirements for clinical laboratory technologists. Clinical laboratory technologists perform analytical tests on patient samples and play an essential role in the diagnosis and treatment of disease.

This program prepares students for careers as cytotechnologists. It is offered by Hunter College in collaboration with Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Cytotechnologists study cells from the human body to identify diseases, such as cancer, and monitor patient response to therapy.

This program is intended to provide knowledge and skills needed by clinical laboratory technologists, research assistants and other types of laboratory professionals to transition into managerial positions. This program is offered as a collaboration between the Hunter College Dept. of Medical Laboratory Sciences and the School of Professional Studies, CUNY.
