Drexel University

The Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences and Professional Studies offers the Master of Laboratory Animal Science (MLAS) degree. The MLAS program is designed for individuals who have a bachelor’s degree in animal science or a related field and who are seeking advanced career positions in laboratory animal science and laboratory animal facility management. Alternatively, the MLAS degree is also a powerful means to enhance students' credentials for admission to veterinary medical school. The MLAS program is a full-time, two-year program that begins in August of each year. The first two years of the program consists primarily of classroom instruction, while the last semester is reserved for experiential learning. The program is flexible for traditional and non-traditional students alike due to the availability of evening courses.
