The BS degree with a Medical Technology major requires a 30 hour certified clinical program including the courses listed at the end of this section. A first minor in biology and a second minor in chemistry are required. The biology minor must include Biology 102, 110, 255, 301, 305, 325, 362, and 363. Biology 343, 353, and/or 370 are also recommended. The chemistry minor must include Chemistry 151, 152, 340, 342, 350, and 351. Chemistry 341 is recommended. In addition Mathematics 116 and 140 along with either Physics 101 or Physics 261 and 262 (or PS 281/282) are required. The clinical program is a one year program in certain clinical programs approved by the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Science and the American Society of Clinical Pathologists.

Students who receive the baccalaureate degree in biology from Washburn can also receive a Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology after successful completion of a clinical year in an approved clinical program provided that the required academic courses for the B.S. in Medical Technology have been taken and that the student has a total of at least 154 credit hours. Students may also apply for a BS degree with a double major by following the University guidelines for a double major.

Students with a BS or BA degree that includes the university courses required for the BS in Medical Technology will be qualified to apply for the clinical program at most accredited schools of medical technology in the United States.

The biology department can also provide the pre-professional academic courses necessary for those students who wish to complete the clinical requirement at either the University of Kansas or Wichita State University. These students would receive the B.S. in Medical Technology from the university at which they completed the clinical program.
