Motlow State Community College (MSCC) and Volunteer State Community College (VSCC) have established an agreement whereby MSCC students who wish to apply to VSCC’s MLT program may complete general education requirements at MSCC and the MLT curriculum through VSCC. The program is designed to prepare students for employment in Medical Laboratory Technology as well as for their national board certification exam. The first year is considered “Pre-MLT” and consists of general education requirements (provided by MSCC). At the end of the spring semester, while enrolled in VSCC’s MLT 100, Introduction to Medical Laboratory, students apply for admission to the MLT program. After admission into the program, students are considered to be MLT students and will begin the second year. Accreditation for this program has been granted through the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences (NAACLS).
