Medical Laboratory Technician — Distance Learning Option Admissions Process

Northcentral Technical College (NTC) now offers a distance learning option for the Medical Laboratory Technician program.

This option allows students to earn their Medical Laboratory Technician degree by completing coursework online and performing labwork at a clinical site in a community near them. This option may be ideal for students who like a more flexible course schedule and have full laboratory support. Please note, there are additional admissions steps required for this option.

Coursework for this option is the same as the traditional Medical Laboratory Technician program and certain courses may be eligible for credit for prior learning.

NTC Bridges the Gap with Medical Laboratory Technician Distance Learning Program

Emma Butkovich graduated from Northcentral Technical College’s Medical Laboratory Technician program. But her path to her degree looked a bit different than many others. She never had to relocate, pause her career or leave the community she loves. Instead, she pursued her education through NTC’s distance learning option, a flexible and innovative path designed for students who live too far to attend classes on campus.
