Medical Laboratory Technology Degree Sheet (PDF)
All program courses (HSML) from the prior semester must be completed to progress to the next semester. All MLT program courses and science prerequisite courses will require a minimum grade of C or better to graduate. Failure to attain the minimum grade in MLT program courses will result in a stop-out and require readmission to the program. Readmission will be based upon space availability. Students may be readmitted only one time.
Program Requirements and Course Sequencing
Students must earn a “C” or better in all courses to be eligible for graduation. Pre-requisite courses may be in progress during the application period and summer session, but must be completed prior to beginning the program professional courses. Admission to the program is contingent on a grade of “C” or higher on courses being completed in the spring and summer semesters.

One month prior to the first clinical rotation course
(HSML 2412 or HSML 2405), submit all immunization and CPR documents with a checklist to the Program Director.
- Clinical Lab Science rotations total 800 hours as follows:
- Phlebotomy 80 hours
- Hematology (including Urinalysis and Coagulation) 160 hours
- Chemistry 160 hours
- Microbiology 200 hours
- Immunohematology (Blood Banking) 200 hours
- The 800 hours of clinical rotations are divided between (a) or (b), and (c) as follows:
- Fast-track or one-year Clinical Courses:
- HSML 2412 Clin Lab Sci A, is usually held during the fall semester and requires 15 hours a week (M, W, F, five hour mornings).
- HSML 2518 Clin Lab Sci B, is usually held during the spring semester and requires 24 hours a week (M, W, F, 8 hours).
- Part-time or spring entry Option Clinical Courses:
- HSML 2405 Clin Lab Sci I, is the first clinical rotation. Usually requires 24 hours per week (M, W, F, 8 hours).
- HSML 2505 Clin Lab Sci II, is the second clinical rotation. Usually requires 24 hours per week (M, W, F, 8 hours).
- HSML 2606 Clin Lab Sci III, is usually held during the summer semester. It is the last clinical rotation of the program for both Fast Track and Traditional students; requires eight to ten weeks of 40 hours per week in the hospital, and a Capstone Journal Report.
Clinical hours may begin as early as 3:30 am. Clinical rotation assignments are determined by the Program Director. Clinical site availability: The current list of clinical sites may be found in the MLT Advisement.
