transferred their Associate Degree in Medical Laboratory Technology to a
University where they completed a BS degree in Medical Laboratory Technology
in a distance learning format. The two
most popular options that our graduates have utilized to advance their
education have been the

is a fully NAACLS accredited program. The
program is designed for MLTs working full time as a
laboratory technicians.
Students in the
distance learning program complete courses sequentially via the course web
site. Courses are conducted online. Typically, students should anticipate
studying about 20 hours per week to ensure completion of each course on time.
At the conclusion of the requisite courses, students will complete clinical
experiences in a clinical laboratory near their home.

CLS
course
sequence without needing to take additional general education courses like
organic chemistry.
