Medical Technology (BS)
Admission to the Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology will be made only if the student is admitted to the Program.
Students of the Bachelor programs in Natural Sciences can apply for admission to the Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology program once they meet the academic requirements of the Bachelor degree presented along with the other requirements for admission to the School.
The general academic, core and elective courses of the Bachelor must be completed within the first three years of the Bachelor of your selection. If admitted to the Program and satisfactorily complete the major courses, the student will receive a Bachelor of Science degree in Medical Technology.
Students who are not admitted to the Medical Technology program can complete a Bachelor of Science and apply again to the School to compete for the Professional Certificate Program (post-Bachelor) in Medical Technology.
Only students admitted to the Medical Technology program can use the code assigned by the University to identify the academic program (165).
The Metropolitan and San Germán campuses are authorized to offer this Program.
