Student Testimonial
“The UND on-line histology program is absolutely amazing. It is such an incredibly flexible program that I was able to work around a full-time job, family, and a special needs child. Any and all questions were answered in a timely manner, and the material was well presented. It truly enhanced my 17-year career as an M.L.S. and more than prepared me for ASCP board exam.”
