NIU to host informational meeting on earning
bachelor's degree in clinical laboratory sciences

DeKalb — Residents in northwest Illinois are invited to attend a Wednesday, Nov. 30, informational meeting on how to earn a bachelor of science degree in clinical laboratory sciences from Northern Illinois University without traveling to DeKalb.

The meeting is scheduled from 1 to 6 p.m. at Freeport Memorial Hospital, 1045 W. Stephenson St.

NIU's College of Health and Human Sciences will offer flexible scheduling that allows clinical and medical lab technicians to continue working while they take classes. Courses are delivered online, through distance learning and face-to-face.

The program will help address the shortage of clinical laboratory scientists in northwest Illinois while upgrading the knowledge and skills of clinical and medical lab technicians.
