The Medical Technology Major

The Department of Biology at Stetson University offers a program leading to the B.S. degree with a major in Medical Technology.  This is a fully accredited, four-year program meeting the standards of the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences (NAACLS).  Currently, Stetson is affiliated with Florida Hospital, Orlando, and St. Vincent's Hospital, Jacksonville.  Students may complete the clinical portion of the curriculum in other hospitals with NAACLS-approved programs.

The initial three years (90 hours of undergraduate work) are completed in residence at Stetson.  The fourth year consists of a twelve-month clinical experience at an approved medical facility.  Following the successful completion of the final year and upon recommendation of the school of medical technology, Stetson University awards the Bachelor of Science degree.
