Our Mission

Service to others is an integral part of the Seventh-day Adventist Christian philosophy. Thus, the development of programs in health care by Andrews University is a natural outgrowth of the institutional thrust. This concept finds its fulfillment through the education of students who develop excellence in the skills necessary for quality health care and dedication to improving the human condition.

The Department of Clinical and Laboratory Sciences, through its various degree programs, is committed to assisting students in acquiring the academic foundation necessary for life-work in health care. The various degree programs draw on the strengths of the University departments in the sciences, business, education, social studies, the humanities, and religion.

The Bachelor of Science in Clinical Laboratory Science provides the opportunity for students to prepare for professional lifework in Christian service as Clinical Laboratory Scientists. In addition, the Clinical Year Program accepts post-baccalaureate individuals with appropriate prerequisite preparation who are seeking career changes.
