This online program allows students to work with their advisor to successfully tailor a course of study to include employment, personal obligations and career goals. Barton offers cooperative laboratory hours on campus or the ability to work with a supporting cooperative clinical laboratory in your area. Barton also offers the ability to transfer general education courses from other accredited colleges or dual credit programs within high schools.
Regulations and requirements for certification, registration, and licensure of Medical Laboratory Technicians vary by state. Some states may include additional requirements beyond those offered in our program. There are currently 11 states with laboratory personnel licensure requirements that may differ from Kansas's requirements. Those states include California, Hawaii, Florida, New York, North Dakota, Tennessee, Louisiana, Nevada, West Virginia, Montana, and Georgia. Puerto Rico also has licensure. Prospective Medical Laboratory Technician (MLT) students who plan to locate in a state other than Kansas should contact that state for specific information relative to that state’s laboratory practice act before enrolling. Please visit the ascls.org for more information.
*This program is NOT approved for California or New York students specifically.
