Notes and Information

* Retention in the MLT program requires that the MLT students earn a grade of “C” or better in all MLT and natural science courses (chemistry, microbiology, anatomy and physiology). The student must achieve a “C” average in the MLTcurriculum in order to graduate. If a student fails an MLT or a required natural science course, the course must be repeated with a passing grade (“A”, “B”, or “C”). MLT courses are only offered once a year, so the student will have to wait to take courses until the prerequisite course has been completed with a passing grade. All courses must be taken in sequence as specified by course prerequisites unless permission is granted by the program director. “C” average = 2.0 on a 4- pt. scale; 3.0 on a 5-pt. scale.

Biology 205 should be taken prior to beginning the program.

¹ Students must have consent of instructor if they take MAT 108  concurrently.

² Requires a grade of “C” or higher.

Career Opportunities: Medical laboratory technician.

Major Employers: Clinical laboratories of hospitals, clinics, physician’s offices,and other health care facilities performing laboratory procedures and diagnostic tests

MLT Program admission is non-discriminatory, but certain personal and physical attributes are key to success in the profession. These may include the following: good general physical health, good vision (may be corrected), good color vision, and good manual dexterity.

The MLT Program is accredited by the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences, 5600 N. River Rd., Suite 720, Rosemont, IL 60018-5119, telephone: (773) 714-8880. Students who have completed the program requirements are eligible to take the national certification examination offered by the Board of Certification of the American Society of Clinical Pathologists (ASCP). The certified graduate may then use the title “MLT (ASCP).”
