Requirements For Admission

Admission to the program in medical technology is on a competitive basis. Students must have attained a grade point average (GPA) of 2.5 or greater (4.0 scale) for all applicable college courses taken prior to the date of application. A grade of D or F in any prerequisite course is not accepted and the course must be repeated until an acceptable grade is achieved. Grades in repeated courses are not deleted in the determination of GPA. Other factors considered for admission are science/math GPA, interview, knowledge of the profession and recommendations. It is recommended that applicants tour a clinical laboratory prior to interview. Class size per year is approximately 12 in students. Louisiana residents are given preference; however, out-of-state applications may be considered. In addition, applicants must be able to master certain technical standards (visual, motor, communication and behavioral skills) that are described in application materials.

Minimum prerequisites for admission include satisfactory completion (prior to the date of registration) of the courses listed below or their equivalent (as determined by the departmental faculty). In addition, international students must take a minimum of 6 hours in science courses and 6 hours in English composition in a U.S. college or university.

The application period has ended for the Fall semester. The Spring application will be posted shortly.
