Application to the clinical year is usually made in the fall of the junior year. Selection is done by each clinical program. Criteria include state of health, academic performance, and personal characteristics. Minimum grade point average ranges from 2.00 to 2.50 for both cumulative GPA and science courses. Enrollment is limited by the class size of each clinical program.
Costs vary with each clinical program.
Upon graduation, students are eligible to take a national certification examination. Passing the examination is not a condition for receiving the B. S. in Medical Technology degree. Financial assistance varies with each clinical program. The student should contact each program and the Office of Scholarships and Financial Assistance. Some clinical programs do have early acceptance policies, and one can usually apply to these programs during the sophomore year.
