Curriculum
This intensive two-year program is composed of a didactic phase followed by directed clinical training at affiliated hospitals and laboratories. During the didactic phase, formal lectures, demonstrations and rotations through clinical laboratories provide experience in routine and specialized procedures.
Laboratory sessions are coordinated with lectures and cover the fundamentals of diagnostic laboratory procedures and are included in the didactic phase. The program maintains an extensive collection of reference books, microscopic slides and projection slides for use in lectures and independent study.
Students are expected to maintain high academic performance and display appropriate professional and ethical behavior during all phases of their education and training.
Bachelor of Science in Histotechnology
Students entering the two-year track at the junior level take 62 semester credit hours (SCH) towards their degree.
Students entering the one-year track at the senior level take 40 SCH towards their degree.
Students entering the one-year professional track at the senior level take 40 SCH towards their degree.
The semester-by-semester schedules include all courses needed to graduate, but the sequences are subject to change.
