Students receive Bachelor of Science degrees in medical technology from SMSU upon successful completion of the program. Students must then pass registry examinations in order to gain employment as medical technologists. High school students planning for careers in medical technology should take courses in biology, chemistry, and mathematics. Each student's schedule is prepared individually, and your schedule will be based on your ACT scores, high school preparation, and other factors. The senior year courses are completed in a hospital setting after admission to a School of Medical Technology.
Credit is transferred to SMSU for completion of the degree.
The schedule presented above is only one example of many possible combinations of courses. The on-campus faculty members teach the preparatory courses in biology and chemistry that the student needs in order to qualify for the clinical portion of the degree program. Most of these faculty members hold doctorate degrees. Specialists who have considerable experience in the practical as well as theoretical aspects of medical technology provide training during the clinical phase. The affiliated hospitals are all exceptionally well-equipped with modern instrumentation.
