It also prepares students for other roles in the health professions as well as the background necessary to pursue studies beyond the baccalaureate degree.

A strong background in science as well as a personal interview is necessary for final admission.

Enrollment is limited due to the availability of clinical facilities.

Students are admitted to the program after completion of the freshman year with a quality point average of 2.5.

The curriculum includes three academic years at East Stroudsburg University and a twelve-month internship in a hospital laboratory approved by the American Society of Clinical Pathologists and the American Medical Association.

The Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Medical Technology may be awarded upon completion of a minimum of 98 semester hours at East Stroudsburg University and the twelve-month internship (32 semester hours allowed for this work).
