Curriculum
 

Students are admitted to the Medical Laboratory Technology Program in May and January of each year. A total of 76 credits must be completed for an Associate in Science degree.

The required general education courses are an important part of the program. Since admissions are highly competitive, it is strongly recommended that you take the core courses, particularly the natural science courses, and ENC 1101 before you are admitted to the program. Your success at the courses you take before applying to the program will improve your chances of being admitted, although taking these courses in advance does not guarantee admission.

Students may choose the full-time or the part-time option. Course content is sequential, and students should plan to enroll in all Medical Laboratory Technology courses in the order and during the terms indicated in the following curriculum.
