The Medical Laboratory Technology (MLT) program prepares students to work as medical laboratory technicians in clinical laboratories, industry, and biotechnology. The MLT curriculum combines classroom lectures, student laboratories, and clinical training to foster the analytical and problem-solving skills required in this profession.

Graduates who complete the MLT program can sit for national certification exams offered by the American Society for Clinical Pathology and the American Association of Bioanalysts (AAB).
