(Explain your reasons for creating, revising, or deleting the
curriculum or program.)
Currently, freshman and transfer students are admitted as
Medical Technology Interest, and they retain this designation until
prerequisite courses are successfully completed (generally upon completion of
sophomore year). Following a review of academic progress, the Medical
Technology Interest students are admitted to the Medical Technology major.
Proposals have been submitted this cycle to change the name
of the Medical Technology major to the Medical Laboratory Science major and to
create a new major in Medical Diagnostics. Freshman and transfer students, who
want to pursue either of these majors, will be admitted into the interest
category, Medical Laboratory and Diagnostics Interest. Following successful
completion of prerequisite courses and review of academic progress, students
will be admitted to the major they designate.
The proposed name change from Medical Technology
Interest to Medical Laboratory and Diagnostics Interest is inclusive and
reflects the majors that students will ultimately complete.
Program Requirements:
(Show the new or revised curriculum as it should appear in the
Course Catalog. If this is a revision,
be sure to indicate the changes being made to the current curriculum and include a side-by-side comparison of
the credit distribution before and after the proposed change.)
