Clinical Laboratory Sciences
Monmouth College has an affiliated program with Rush University in
Clinical Laboratory Sciences (formerly known as Medical Technology).
Students complete their pre-clinical work at Monmouth, typically in 3
years, and then finish their education with two years of clinical work
at Rush University. These students earn a BA from Monmouth and a BS from
Rush. More information on the Rush program can be found at
