Biology, B.S. - Medical Technology Option
In this program, students study for three years at Millersville and then apply for admission to an accredited regional teaching hospital for one year of clinical training in medical technology. Then students are awarded a BS in Biology, Medical Technology Option. After completing the required work, students may sit for a national examination which, if successfully completed, confers board certification in medical technology.
