Medical Laboratory Technology (2220) |
| |
|
| |
Medical laboratory technicians perform manual and automated routine blood tests, prepare specimens for microscope examination, operate laboratory equipment and other related tasks. Medical laboratory professionals have unlimited choices of practice settings: hospitals, reference laboratories, clinics, business and industry. Areas of scientific exploration open to students are the immune system, cell marker technology and cancer research. In the clinical area, drug testing, therapeutic drug monitoring and biogenetics are a few of the specialties with openings. For a qualified laboratory professional, the possibilities are as limitless as the imagination.

You have two options in this program: the associate in science (A.S.) degree, which can prepare you for employment or transfer to a state university, and the associate in applied science (A.A.S.) degree, which is intended primarily for students who want immediate employment after graduation. If you choose the A.S. degree you must take MAC 1105, MGF 1106 or a higher level mathematics and CHM 2045C. The A.A.S. degree requires MAT 1033 or higher, and CHM 2205C or CHM 1032C. You may substitute BSC 2020C for BSC 2085C if you have prerequisite requirements. Please see an advisor to determine the option that is best for you. |
