Students should consult a faculty advisor or an academic advisor early in their program of study. The Northeast Texas Community College MLT program is accredited by the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences. NTCC offers an Associate of Applied Science Degree; and, upon graduation, students will be eligible to take a national certification exam. Even though NTCC has an open-door policy, the Medical Laboratory Technology program must limit its enrollment due to the limited classroom space and the availability of clinical affiliations. Applicants must meet minimum academic standards to be considered for admission. Application information and forms are located on the NTCC MLT Program website www.ntcc.edu/index.php The deadline for application to the MLT program is July 1st each year.
