2017-2018 Undergraduate Catalog

Medical Technology, B.S.: Histotechnology Option

The Histotechnology Option is through Experiential Learning only.

The option in histotechnology leads to both a Bachelor of Science degree and eligibility for national certification in histotechnology. Histotechnologists are trained to process body tissue sections and prepare them for examination by a pathologist. Students attend a histotechnology educational program for clinical education. The hospital selects the students for clinical preceptorship.
