Medical Technology

"Today, preparation for most science and health science careers requires more than four years of college. An exception is Medical Technology. In only four years, three years at King and one at an accredited teaching hospital, a student will earn a bachelor's degree in Medical Technology and be ready to enter the job market."

--Dr. Charles A. Owens
Professor of Biology
