Histotechnology (BS Degree BS0962)
Natural Sciences Division Degree BS0962 The Bachelor of Science in Histotechnology Program at Mt. SAC will prepare students for a career in medical diagnostics by training them to prepare and evaluate tissues on a macroscopic and microscopic level and by developing strong supervisory and leadership skills necessary for high level management positions in a laboratory setting. In addition to performing complex tissue specimen preparations in the laboratory, students will complete courses in biochemistry, microbiology, anatomy, cell and molecular biology, advanced histotechnology, histology, cytology, pathophysiology, anatomic pathology, advanced microscopy, and medical ethics.
