Overview
Ready to step into the science engine that drives nearly every medical diagnosis? The medical laboratory technology program equips you to investigate blood, body fluids, microbes and chemicals using high-precision tools and hands-on lab training. You’ll build from core science and chemistry into advanced testing across microbiology, hematology, immunology and blood banking, then apply it all during real clinical rotations that sharpen your accuracy and confidence. With a focused final review to boost your certification readiness, you’ll graduate prepared to power the diagnostic decisions that shape patient care.
Note: Space is limited in this program. In addition to applying to Clark State, students must also apply to this program. Please meet with your advisor to ensure all requirements are met.
Accredited: The Medical Laboratory Technology program is accredited by the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences.

Footnotes
*May be taken within two years of acceptance into the program although no sooner than one year is preferred. If the course was completed more than 24 months prior to starting the program, the course will need to be repeated. Must be accepted into the MLT program to take these classes.
**BIO 1105 must be successfully completed with a grade of C or higher within five years of beginning MLT courses or while enrolled in the MLT program. If older than five years, the course must be repeated. The two semester anatomy & physiology sequence BIO 2121 and BIO 2122 may be substituted for BIO 1105.
***CHM 1150 must be successfully completed with a grade of C or higher within five years of beginning MLT courses or while enrolled in the MLT program. If older than five years, the course must be repeated. CHM 1150 must be taken in the fall semester of the first year as it is a pre-requisite to MLT 1130 & MLT 1135.
****MTH or STT must be successfully completed with a grade of C or higher within five years of beginning MLT courses or while enrolled in the MLT program. If older than five years, the course must be repeated. Choose from the MTH or STT courses listed under the General Education Requirement for Technical Programs, Mathematics courses.
The program schedule is designed for full-time students who have completed all pre-requisites and who have no college preparatory recommendations. Many individuals, especially part-time students and those taking college preparatory courses, will require additional semesters of study. Students who plan to continue to work are strongly encouraged to complete all or most non-core MLT courses prior to starting the program. Students should consult an Academic Advisor or the Program Coordinator for help in planning their schedules.
