BS in Medical Technology:

Our Curriculum

Program Curriculum:

The curriculum consists of a pre-professional and professional phase. The freshmen and sophomore year make up the pre-professional phase since students the general education requirements and major courses offered by the University. The professional phase of the program consists of medical technology courses throughout the junior year and senior fall semester. A unique feature of the Medical Technology program is the clinical rotations, which are offered to senior students during the spring semester of their senior year.
