Can apply to the MLT program as a clinical phase student or as a pre-clinical phase student to either the MLT traditional or Biotechnology options.

The clinical phase is for students who wish to complete the full-time sequence of courses. 

Students may choose to complete the program as a part-time student.  A part-time student can select "Pre-MLT" curriculum on the College Application.

How to apply for direct admission (clinical phase) and pre-clinic phases of the MLT Program:

STEP # 1

Determine Eligibility

Complete 1 year of high school chemistry, biology, and algebra  (or their equivalent) with minimum grade of "C" in each course

A minimum composite score on the ACT of 18 with no less than a 16 in each area.  (The SAT can be converted to an ACT score.)

Pass the Allegany College Placement Test or successfully complete all required developmental courses before the first college courses

STEP # 2

Fill out the Allegany College of Maryland application and select the appropriate program number to be considered for admission into your program of study.

Biotechnology A.A.S. Degree Option:  11201
Pre-Medical Laboratory Technology-Biotechnology Option:  11203
Medical Laboratory Technology:  03701
Pre-medical laboratory technology:  03703
Biotechnology Certificate Option:   11301
Fast-Track Option: 03706

Pre-clinical phase of the program is for students who wish to be part-time students or for those not completely eligible. Pre-phase students work on completing prerequisite general education courses prior to acceptance into the MLT program.  These students are acknowledged as working on degree requirements, but are not officially in the MLT program.

Premedical Laboratory Technology:  03703
Premedical Laboratory Technology-Biotechnology Option: 11203

STEP # 3

Submit high school transcript and ACT scores.

STEP # 4

Take the Allegany College placement test.  Students must 
pass the test or take the development coursework needed 
prior to beginning the "clinical phase."

Everyone is accepted into the "pre-clinic" category as soon as the college application is complete and until admissions into the fall semester is completed (usually in April).

Students may be accepted into the "pre-clinic" category if:

	acceptance for the fall MLT class has not yet been determined until admissions into the fall semester is completed (usually in April).
	the applicant doesn't meet the entrance requirements
	the student chooses to complete general education courses prior to beginning the "clinical phase"
