Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Medical Technology] From Slippery Rock University

The Medical Technology program at SRU is fairly small compared to other schools. Our size is an asset as small classrooms make for a great deal of one-on-one attention. The faculty get to know you and their support and guidance are huge advantages when beginning your career.

In addition to faculty attention and support, SRU and our affiliate labs have cutting-edge medical technology. Training in this environment gives our graduates an edge on competition when they enter the job market.

With the experience you gain at SRU and our affiliated institutions, you will play a major role in meeting the needs of the whole patient.

Your first three years will be on the SRU campus as you earn 96 credit hours that will give you the base of knowledge you will need to advance, including medical mycology, genetics, and molecular biology.  Your senior year is spent in 12 months of intensive training at an accredited hospital school of Medical Technology. To become a medical technologist you must be certified as a clinical laboratory scientist by the American Society of Clinical Pathologists Board of Registry or the National Certifying Agency for Medical Laboratory Personnel.
