the same Major Code.
Degree/diploma/certificate programs having multiple
specializations are assigned a specialization Major Code for each option.
Standard Number: ML03-03-03 (Program
Consistency and Sequence)
The Clinical Laboratory Technology, Degree program utilizes
essential course components consistent with statewide program
requirements. Specific course
alphanumeric identification Codes are assigned to each course. Students are required to progress through two
course categories in a developmentally valid sequence.
Programs are assigned an identical Major Code ML03 and are
consistent statewide. Each specific
course is assigned an alphanumeric descriptor that serves as a statewide course
identification code.
The Clinical Laboratory Technology, Degree program is
assigned a Major Code of ML03, and utilizes essential components designated for
that program number statewide. Program
components include, but are not limited to:
Clinical Laboratory Technology, Degree
The Clinical
Laboratory Technology associate degree program is a sequence of courses that
prepares students for technician positions in medical laboratories and related
businesses and industries. Learning
opportunities develop academic, technical, and professional knowledge and
skills required for job acquisition, retention, and advancement. The program emphasizes a combination of
didactic and clinical instruction necessary for successful employment. Program graduates receive a Clinical Laboratory Technology
Associate of Applied Technology degree, have the qualifications of a medical
laboratory technician, and are eligible for certification.
