B.S. in Medical Technology/Medical Laboratory Science

Medical Laboratory Scientists, also known as Medical Technologists or Clinical Laboratory Scientists, are health care professionals who work in laboratories and perform a variety of diagnostic tests on human tissue samples. They have expertise in biology and chemistry, and are trained in the use of state of the art diagnostic equipment. This is a "3+1" program; students spend their first three years at Saint Francis University, and then attend an affiliated Medical Laboratory Science school in their fourth year to complete their B.S. degree and receive specialized training. Major Requirements: BIOL 111 - Introduction to Biology: Molecules, Cells, and Animal Physiology BIOL 131 - Biology Freshman Seminar BIOL 205 - Human Anatomy and Physiology I BIOL 206 - Human Anatomy and Physiology II BIOL 214 - Clinical Microbiology BIOL 231 - Biology Sophomore Seminar BIOL 301 - Genetics BIOL 305 - Immunology BIOL 331 - Biology Junior Seminar MATH 121 - Calculus with Analytic Geometry I or MATH 112 - Calculus PHYS 104 - An Introduction to Physics I or PHYS 121 - General Physics I CHEM 121 - General Chemistry I CHEM 122 - General Chemistry II CHEM 221 - Organic Chemistry I CHEM 222 - Organic Chemistry II One of the following statistics courses: STAT 205 - Essentials of Statistics MATH 215 - Introductory Statistics BIOL 315 - Biostatistics Note(s): Qualified students will transfer to a hospital with a CAHEAA-Accredited School of Medical Technology for their senior year. The student earns 32 credits in courses such as clinical chemistry, immunology, bacteriology, etc., which are included in the determination of the student's final quality point average (QPA). After successful completion of this fourth year, the student will receive their B.S. degree from Saint Francis University.
