Histologic Technology (2262) |
| |
|
| |
Histologic technology professionals develop skills that reach into a variety of fields. Most commonly, these highly skilled individuals will be used in hospitals or private pathology laboratories, playing an integral role in preparing tissue specimens for the microscopic diagnosis of disease. Additionally, histology, the science of demonstrating a multitude of cellular characteristics, will be found utilized in medical, pharmaceutical and industrial research settings. The field of histologic technology is rapidly advancing, as more and more sophisticated diagnostic tools are being developed.

| |
|
|
| Graduates will be prepared to sit for the ASCP national certification exam; students who pass this exam are eligible for Florida licensure in histotechnology through the Board of Clinical Lab Personnel, Department of Health.
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
| Students must earn a grade of C or better in the histologic technology courses and complete all campus-based courses with a grade point average of 2.0 or better before entering the practicum phase of their education. Placement in the clinical practicum is on a space available basis; a GPA ranked waiting list will determine placement should space become limited for reasons beyond the control of the program.

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. Students earning an A.S. degree must take MAC 1105, MGF 1106 or a higher level mathematics course. Students earning an A.A.S. degree must take MAT 1033 or a higher level mathematics course and any combination of biology or chemistry courses that have prior approval by the Dean and total 8 credit hours or more for CHM 2045C and CHM 2046C. Suggested combinations would be as follows: BSC 2011C and CHM 2210C or CHM 2210C and CHM 2211C. |

Application Procedures: |
|
| Acceptance into the program is based on academic criteria (completion of prerequisite courses) and an interview. Selected histologic technology courses are formatted for Web-based delivery; therefore, computer skills and Internet access are program requirements. Students may find it difficult to work during the practicum phase of the education (last two semesters) due to the number of required contact hours per week.
|
|
| 1. Complete 12 credits applicable to the histologic technology degree, to include ENC 1101 or MAC 1105, and either BSC 2010C or BSC 2085C.
|
|
| 2. Submit completed application to the HT program.
|
|
| 3. Complete required interview process with the HT education coordinator and program director.
|
|
| A physical examination will be required upon acceptance to the program.
