Program Location
The Medical Laboratory Technology (MLT) Program is the result of a collaborative partnership between Seminole State College and Gordon Cooper Technology Center (GCTC). Students complete general education requirements and technical-occupational support requirements primarily on the SSC campus. MLT lecture/lab courses are completed at the Shawnee campus of GCTC. Practicum courses are completed at an assigned affiliate hospital.

Majoring in Medical Laboratory Technology
Selecting medical laboratory technology as a major is open to all SSC students and can be accomplished through an advisor just like any other SSC major field of study. However, formal admission to the program is a more rigorous and competitive process. See the PDF copy of course requirements for more information on the admissions process and criteria.
