Clinical Laboratory Technology - Associate of Applied Science

(Constitutes one major with two concentrations)

Concentration: Medical Laboratory Technician (19 cr.)

The program develops proficiency in the performance of a variety of tests as well as an understanding of the interrelationships of laboratory data and physiological processes. Medical laboratory technicians perform routine laboratory tests under supervision to provide diagnostic data in clinical and biomedical industries. The first three semesters of the program consist of liberal arts, science and clinical laboratory courses taken on campus. During the last semester of the second year, students are placed in an affiliated hospital to complete a full-time clinical practicum experience. This concentration is accredited by the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Science, students with this concentration will be eligible for ASCP MLT certification.

Concentration: Science Technician (17 cr.)

This concentration career ladders into the science technologist and anatomic pathology BS concentrations. This program prepares graduates to work in a variety of laboratory settings (biomedical, commercial, etc). Students are provided with a basic foundation in clinical techniques complemented with science and math.
