South Dakota State University offers four-year degrees that strive to meet job market demands. One of those degrees is medical laboratory science.

Those who graduate with a bachelor's degree in medical laboratory science from SDState currently have a 100 percent graduation rate and 100 percent job placement. The class sizes are small, with greater student to faculty ratio compared to other competing programs.

Students can earn their four-year degree on campus, or those with their associate degree can enroll in the upward mobility program.

In this Between Classes podcast, Stacie Lansink, program director and instructor for medical laboratory science, speaks about the degree options and what the future holds for those who choose to pursue this field of study.
