After graduation, students are eligible to take a national certification examination offered by the American Society of Clinical Pathologists (ASCP) Board of Certification: Scientist in Molecular Biology (MB).

Application for the exam is provided well in advance of the application deadline. The Affiliate Coordinator will provide reminders of the deadline.  The ASCP exam fee can be found on the website. For more information on ASCP, visit their website at https://www.ascp.org/boc/earn-a-credential/examination-process.

  • Granting of the Master of Science in Molecular Pathology degree is not contingent upon the student passing the certification exam.
