Medical Laboratory Technology Coursework

The MLT courses are taught in a set sequence ending with clinical rotations. Clinical rotation spots are limited which limits the number of
students in clinicals and in turn each class accepted.

Classes are taught during the day at the Jackson County Campus. MLT courses are very hands-on lab based and face to face classes are the industry standard.

To find class times, visit the MGCCC Class Schedules.
