Students who graduate from
Macomb Community College's applied science in clinical laboratory technology program will have a chance to continue their education at
Saginaw Valley State University thanks to a new articulation agreement.
The graduates will be able to pursue a bachelor's degree in medical laboratory science from the university.
"What is unique about our articulation agreement is that we offer credit for the professional courses that the students completed at Macomb, as long as they are certified in medical laboratory technology," says Kay Castillo, SVSU assistant professor of medical laboratory science and program director. "The agreement is a benefit to all involved, including the laboratory profession, as it provides the most direct route for continued education."
Macomb's clinical laboratory technology students may transfer up to 62 credits to SVSU, and as many as 27 additional articulation credits may be applied toward SVSU's medical laboratory science program. To be eligible, students must meet all relevant admission requirements, as well as obtain the appropriate medical certifications.
