The Medical Laboratory Technology program teaches the knowledge and skills necessary to perform general tests in all laboratory areas including blood banking, hematology, immunology, and microbiology. Working under the supervision of a medical technologist or pathologist, a medical laboratory technician hunts for clues to the absence, presence, extent, and causes of diseases. Students learn clinical laboratory techniques along with formal coursework in basic science and liberal arts.
This program is accredited by the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Services (NAACLS), a non-profit organization that independently accredits clinical laboratory science programs.
The Medical Laboratory Technician program begins in the Fall semester. Students may begin their general education courses any semester. This is a two-year program and the final term is a 24-week clinical practicum in an affiliated hospital or private laboratory.
Students in the Medical Laboratory Technology program interested in continuing their education should visit with a program advisor.
