Medical Technology
The Medical Technology major is available for those students whose career goal is to be a healthcare professional in laboratory testing in the medical or industrial setting. The requirements are those recommended by the two certification bodies governing the area, the American Society of Clinical Pathologists and/or the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Services. In addition to the four years of college study, a full year or internship in an accredited hospital school of medical technology and successful completion of a qualifying examination are required for licensure and graduation. Developing the ability of each student as a creative problem solver for the scientific age is the goal of the department.
