SCHOOL OF NATURAL SCIENCES AND TECHNOLOGY Degree: BACHELOR OF SCIENCE Credits: 5 CURRICULUM Since: August 08 Program: MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY Description: The Bachelor of Science with a Major in Medical Technology is targeted to attract students interested in studying a career that will prepare them to help in the solution of health problems. Physicians base about 70 percent of their diagnosis and treatment decisions on the results of laboratory testing. Graduates from this program will be prepared to work in the clinical laboratories in hospitals and medical centers; pharmaceutical industry in quality control and microbiology labs, research and biotechnology; government crime labs, accreditation offices, environmental technology and lab information systems; humanitarian work in the Peace Corps, Project Hope and medical missionary workers. Many medical technology degree graduates assume positions as laboratory directors and healthcare supervisors.
