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 are presented on the principles of medical genetics, molecular and biochemical basis of genetic disease, hematology, molecular biology, clinical molecular genetics and molecular genetic technology. Laboratory sessions coordinated to lectures and covering the fundamentals of diagnostic laboratory procedures are included in the didactic phase.
Bachelor of Science in Molecular Genetic Technology
Students entering the two-year track at the junior level take 76 semester credit hours (SCH) towards their degree.
Students entering the one-year track at the senior level take 46 SCH towards their degree.
The semester-by-semester schedules include all courses needed to graduate, but the sequences are subject to change.
