Medical Technology Internship
Medical Technology Internship: A Medical Technologist (M.T.) or Medical Laboratory Technician (M.L.T.) who is a graduate of an accredited M.T. or M.L.T. program is eligible to receive nine semester hours of natural science internship credit. This credit will be granted at the beginning of the second semester of the senior year. A transcript of the student’s Medical Technology or Medical Laboratory Technician course work must be presented for approval to Blue Mountain College’s Provost and the Chair of the Mathematics and Natural Sciences Department. The biology internship credit is included in the student’s program of study as elective hours. Consequently, it cannot be used to satisfy any portion of the forty-four (44) semester hours of science course credit required for a Biology major.
Total Credit Hours: 137-143
