PROGRAM
INFORMATION
Medical laboratory tests play an important part in the detection,
diagnosis, and treatment of illness and disease. Medical
Laboratory Technology (MLT) students learn the methods and
procedures used to perform tests analyzing human blood, body
fluid, and urine samples. One of the fastest growing sectors of
the health care field, this program offers trained technicians
excellent employment opportunities. Upon graduation, students
will be eligible to take the examination to become registered
Medical Laboratory Technicians.
SCHEDULING
AND ENTRY OPTIONS
The Medical Laboratory Technology program is a full-time day
program with courses in the major starting in the Fall Semester.
Full-time students can complete the program in two years,
including one Summer Term. General Education courses are
offered both day and evening and can be completed at any time
before or during the program. In the second year, MLT students
will spend up to 30 hours per week in the laboratory setting of
a clinical affiliate to gain clinical experience in the following
departments: Clinical Chemistry, Microbiology, Hematology,
and Immunohematology.
