Program Overview
Medical Laboratory Technology (MLT) is a branch of medical science employing chemistry, physics, and biology in the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of diseases. The MLT program is accredited by the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Studies. This program encourages men and women with an interest in science to investigate this many-faceted career field.
Medical Lab Technicians perform a wide range of laboratory procedures to assist the physician in the diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of disease processes. It is estimated that 75 percent of diagnoses are made based upon laboratory test results. Upon completion of the Associate of Applied Science in Medical Laboratory Technology degree, you will be eligible to take a national certification examination.
