The clinical laboratory science (CLS) program at Neumann University recently received accreditation from the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences (NAACLS).
Neumann’s CLS program is one of the only programs in the region that offers students a B.S. in biology with a concentration in CLS. Students are recognized as capable of working in research facilities as well as having the essential skills to work in the clinical laboratories as medical laboratory scientists (MLS).
Neumann is one of three accredited University programs in the tri-state area. There are two NAACLS approved hospital-based programs in the Philadelphia area that affiliate with colleges and universities. The accreditation benefits Neumann by identifying to the public that Neumann has a specialized Bio/CLS program that meets nationally established standards of educational quality. It also stimulates improvement in the program by involving faculty and clinical affiliates in ongoing self-evaluation, research, and planning.
“A student who enters our program is assured that they will received the same excellent education as any NAACLS accredited university in the United States,” said Dr. Sandra Weiss, professor and program director of clinical laboratory science at Neumann.
