Curriculum Options

Successful completion of the required courses in Barton's MLT Program lead to an Associate of Applied Science degree. This is the recommended degree for students for whom working as a Medical Laboratory Technician is the career goal.

Successful completion of additional courses can lead to an Associate of Science degree. This is the recommended degree for students who intend to use the Medical Laboratory Technician training as a "stepping-stone" to further education to become a Medical Technologist, a Physician Assistant or a Medical Doctor.

The curriculum is usually completed in a two-year time frame. The first clinical internship, Clinical Practicum I, is completed in the Summer following the 1st year of MLT courses. The second clinical internship, Clinical Practicum II, is completed in the Summer following the 2nd year of MLT courses.

A fast track option is available to students who have already competed all of the general education and supportive science courses. This option is on a "space-available" basis. These students can complete the Program in one academic year followed by the two clinical practica.
