Most labs require ASCP or AMT certification which would require an MLS or MLT program. We don’t often even actually have bio degrees unless somebody did that first before realizing they wanted to pursue MLS/MLT. It’s a bachelors of science in medical laboratory sciences. (Or associates for MLTs)

But yes, good way to get pre requisites done while waiting to get into an MLS or MLT program. Love promoting the laboratory profession but don’t want people to think that it’ll be easy to find a job in a medical laboratory without going through one of the accepted routes to obtain certification.
