Admission Requirements

Prerequisite course work must be completed before admission to the Medical Technology Program. Requirements for admission are as follows:

  • An applicant must have graduated from an accredited high school or its equivalent and have completed three years of work at a college or university affiliated with the NMMC Medical Technology Program. The educational sequence of three years of college and one year of clinical training must culminate in a baccalaureate degree.

OR

  • An applicant may have earned a baccalaureate degree from an accredited college or university. The required premedical courses must have been completed.


If the Bachelor of Science program is being followed for a degree in medical technology, care should be taken that during the three years of college work all pretechnical requirements leading to the baccalaureate degree are met. A letter from the dean of the school stating that course requirements are being met must be submitted with application. Upon successful completion of the 52-week program, a B.S. degree in Medical Technology will be awarded.

Students enrolled at nonaffiliated colleges and universities must obtain a bachelor's degree before admission to the program will be granted. Course requirements are the same as stated below.

Each applicant must have maintained at least 2.6 GPA. A grade of " C " or better must be obtained in the following courses that are required in the pre-medical technology curriculum:


Chemistry
One academic year of inorganic chemistry, one academic year of organic and/or biochemistry, and additional chemistry courses to total 16 semester hours.


Biological Sciences
Sixteen hours of biological science including microbiology and immunology which are taught as a separate course.

Mathematics
Three semester hours of mathematics. (Remedial mathematics do not satisfy the requirements.)

Electives
Sufficient to give the total number of required hours of college credit to culminate in a baccalaureate degree. These should be courses that will make for a broad general education such as English, social sciences or humanities. Highly recommended are courses in genetics, management, statistics, bioinstrumentation, physics, anatomy and physiology, and basic computer
concepts.
