CityLab Academy

CityLab Academy is a free, two-semester degree-track education and biomedical training program that allows post-secondary students to earn 12 Boston University credits upon successful completion of four courses: Medical Terminology, Introduction to Biomedical Laboratory Sciences, Cell Culture Techniques, and Biotechnology. CityLab Academy students take academic and laboratory courses alongside other Boston University undergraduates. They receive tutoring, learn study skills, and are mentored by a graduate student studying in the medical sciences.

Along with the four required courses, the program consists of intense laboratory training, internships, and job skill preparation. Graduates of CityLab Academy receive a Certificate in Biomedical Laboratory Science, and are qualified for a wide variety of entry-level laboratory jobs in institutions such as biotech companies, universities, and hospitals, among others. Many Academy graduates are successfully employed and continue in the BLCS program at no cost through their company’s tuition benefit.
