This degree map provides the semester-by-semester course sequencing a full-time student will follow to complete this degree. To earn an Associate in Applied Science degree you must achieve a grade point average of 2.0 as a minimum on all coursework required for the degree.
Note the Milestones below each semester. Milestones are reminders of actions you should take during that semester to help keep you on track for degree completion.
General Education Courses - First Semester
The general education courses required for the Medical Laboratory Technician (MLT) degree may take a full-time student one year to complete and it is recommended that students complete all of the required general education courses prior to the fall term in which the MLT course work begins. Prior to enrolling in the general education courses, students are encouraged to apply to the MLT program and meet with the MLT program director. You should note that, along with overall grade point average (GPA), science and math course grades comprise a significant portion of the selection criteria for the MLT program and only courses completed with a ‘C’ or better will be considered acceptable.
