Additional credit hours required (32 hours)

An additional 32 semester hours of credit must be earned at an accredited school of medical technology. BMCU has an affiliation agreement with the School of Medical Technology at North Mississippi Medical Center in Tupelo, Mississippi. Students interested in receiving medical technology training at NMMC should contact the advisor for Medical Technology at BMCU.

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 Christian University’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
