The medical laboratory technology program at Alamance Community College prepares students to work in clinical laboratories in hospitals, clinics, and medical testing companies. This growing field offers exciting opportunities in labs throughout North Carolina.
A unique partnership with Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings, Inc. (LabCorp) allows students to take classes during the second half of the curriculum in a state-of-the-art student laboratory at the LabCorp facility in Elon. To fulfill the mission and goals of the MLT program, the following Program Outcome Measures and Benchmarks have been developed.
Each of the outcome criteria is evaluated systematically to determine if the MLT program is meeting its goals and data is used for program improvement. Outcomes data is available to prospective students, currently enrolled students, and other interested individuals. A brief summary of data from the last three years is listed below:
