The program
in Biology is designed to prepare students for graduate or professional
studies. Students preparing to teach in this field on the secondary
level should consult the Teaching and Learning section for additional
requirements. Biology majors are encouraged to develop specific
career objectives while pursuing undergraduate studies. Departmental
advisers will assist students in exploring career possibilities
and in devising a personalized plan of study that will best
prepare them for their career goals.

Medical Technology |
A
program leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science,
with a concentration in Medical Technology, is offered
in cooperation with Methodist Hospital. On completion
of 100 credits in the College, candidates go to an affiliated
hospital or any other school with an approved program
in Medical Technology for one year of special training,
at the end of which they are eligible ,for the B.S. degree
and the Medical Technology certificate. The program is
|
|
|
approved
by the American Medical Association and American Society
of ''Clinical Pathologists. The choice of, and admission
to, an approved training program for Medical Technologists
are the responsibility of the student and are highly dependent
upon academic achievement in the program of study at the
University. Students are cautioned that hospital training
spaces are limited that obtaining a training position
may be difficult.
