Medical Laboratory Technology

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.

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.

Tri-County students who graduate in the Medical Laboratory Technology program and meet other criteria may transfer into the Bachelor of Science program in Microbiology-Biomedicine at Clemson University. For more information, contact Polly Kay, MLT Program Coordinator.
