What is Medical Laboratory Science?

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics defines Medical Laboratory Science as follows: Clinical laboratory testing plays a crucial role in the detection, diagnosis, and treatment of disease. Clinical laboratory technologists, also referred to as clinical laboratory scientists or medical technologists, and clinical laboratory technicians, also known as medical technicians or medical laboratory technicians, perform most of these tests.

Known for offering an education for the careers of tomorrow, the University of Bridgeport is pleased to announce a new undergraduate program in Digital Marketing Communication. The innovative program is offered in a face-to-face setting with close student-faculty collaboration.

You will gain first-hand experience in developing digital marketing plans and integrate marketing, advertising, public relations, sales, and logistics strategies across physical and digital channels. This includes instruction in digital marketing, e-commerce, online consumer psychology, search engine optimization, social media marketing and web analytics.

Today’s marketing world is vastly different than in past decades when you focused on just one skill. You may apply your skill set to multiple tasks daily from creative conceptualizing, to writing for social, to funneling conversion strategy, to directing a photo shoot for an advertorial, to sourcing materials, to meeting with vendors, and more.

Digital marketing careers enjoy better-than-average job growth. The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates job demand will increase 10 percent by 2026.

The average entry-level wage for a digital marketing specialist or digital manager is $40,453-$44,156,* with a range of $86,575- $124,207 for more experienced digital marketing managers.

The Master’s Degree in Computer Science degree program is intended to prepare individuals with a strong mathematical, scientific, or technical background for entry into the computer science field at an advanced level and for further study leading to the doctorate.
