In addition to a baccalaureate degree from an accredited college or university, before admission an applicant must complete mathematics, chemistry, and biological sciences courses comparable to those required for admission to the degree program. After admission, certificate students complete only the professional component of the curriculum. Students who wish to receive a second baccalaureate degree complete, in addition, all GEC requirements. The number of certificate students admitted is limited by the space available. Students who complete this program receive the Certificate of Postbaccalaureate Medical Technologist from The Ohio State University.
Some states require that medical laboratory personnel be licensed.
