A year of physics and a course in management selected from MGMT 3313 or MGMT 3323 are recommended.

One year or more of medical technology instruction at an approved institution, taking the courses specified by that instruction to qualify the student for national certification, and furnishing SWU with satisfactory evidence that grades of C or better in all such courses were earned, is required. The university cannot guarantee acceptance in such and institution.

For those who have been certified and Medical Laboratory Technicians (MLT), the requirements, including successful completion of a year of medical technology instruction at an approved institution, are the same, except that a three-hour advanced biology course is required rather than BIOL 3033, 3104, 3214; CHEM 1004 and 1054 are not required; one hour of capstone biology or chemistry seminar is required. Students with MLT certification pursuing the Medical Technology degree should note that there is a time limit on acceptance of certain courses toward qualifying to stand the Medical Technology certifying examination.
