Each student must complete a three-year program on campus that includes the general education requirements of the University and the science courses as specified in the program list below. In addition, it is expected that a student qualifying as a junior in the program will have a cumulative average of 2.5 in biology and 2.5 in chemistry by the end of the sophomore sequence. Finally, each student must complete a year of study in an approved hospital school of medical technology. We are currently affiliated with Danbury Hospital, Danbury CT and have an excellent record of student acceptance into the internship year. Acceptance, however, does depend upon student's competitive status and cannot be guaranteed. Students should note that full tuition and fees will be charged for this final year of study.

All courses identified by number and title in the six semester sequence which follows are requirements in this major. Completion of the program within four academic years requires that the biology and chemistry courses be completed in the semester shown. The sequence of general education requirements and free electives may be arranged at the student's discretion to complete 129 SH for graduation.
