About the Program

Medical Technology, within the Center for Allied Health Programs, offers a program for the Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree. The program is fully accredited, and graduates are eligible for examination by national certifying agencies.

Upon junior completion of the prerequisite coursework, students enter the program in their senior year. Medical technology coursework is taken during the fall and spring semester and 22 weeks of clinical rotations are completed during the summer and following fall. A broad range of clinical and research facilities at the University of Minnesota Medical Center, Fairview, as well as other institutions in the Twin Cities, Rochester, and other locations in the state, are used for health sciences students. Medical technology students have opportunities to work with the most sophisticated and up-to-date equipment.

A Master of Science (M.S.) in Clinical Laboratory Science is available through the Graduate School. For more information about the graduate program, visit the web site at http://pathology.umn.edu/ClinicalLab/MS_CLS.html.
