Medical lab technician programs in Missouri
16 medical lab programs with costs, results and funding that can make them free
15 schools offer these medical lab programs, and Missouri has approved every one for workforce funding. Each shows its price if you pay yourself and how past students did.
Clinical laboratory technologists and technicians run the medical lab tests used to diagnose, treat and prevent disease. Most need a bachelor's degree, though technicians sometimes qualify with an associate degree and some vocational and technical schools offer technician certificates; some states require a license, and employers may prefer certification.1
In Missouri, 9 of the 16 programs take students without a high school diploma, 4 ask for a diploma or equivalent, 2 ask for earlier courses first and 1 asks for a bachelor's degree.
By kind, the 16 programs here are medical lab technician (associate degree, 8 programs), medical lab scientist (bachelor's degree, 4 programs), medical lab assistant course (3 programs) and medical lab scientist certificate (for graduates, 1 program).

Where the Missouri medical lab program numbers come from
Which Missouri medical lab programs are on this list?
These are the medical lab programs Missouri approved for WIOA funding (public workforce funding under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act), as reported to the US Department of Labor for program year 2024 (July 2024 to June 2025). Each state keeps its approved programs on an eligible training provider list (ETPL).9 The list here covers programs approved as of June 30, 2025. Schools that never applied for approval are missing, so this is a part of what Missouri offers.
How the prices and results of Missouri medical lab programs are measured
Prices are tuition and required fees for someone paying without workforce funding, as the school reported them; check the current price with the school. Results describe students who left each program in recent years, so they are no guarantee, and the yearly earnings are the reported quarter times four, an estimate. A program without a "Trained with WIOA funding" line may still take WIOA students. Where a field was left empty or withheld, the page says "Not reported", and "Left out" where a figure was filed but failed one of our checks; nothing is estimated to fill a gap. Where the numbers come from explains each figure in full.
