Overview

An education at SU prepares you for that world outside of the classroom. Our program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Respiratory Care (CoARC) and our courses help students practice under the guidance and supervision of professionals during internships in real-world environments. You learn by doing in the Medical Simulation Center, where you can practice your skills on high-fidelity medical mannequins and actors before you work with real patients.

At SU, after two years of prerequisite courses in basic science areas such as biology and chemistry, upper-level courses are provided in chemical and biological testing related to health and human disease, as well as internships in various hospitals throughout the region.

Following completion of the program, graduates are eligible to take national certification examinations which are recognized by medical laboratory employers. Many of our students also incorporate additional science courses into their studies to allow for admission into a variety of graduate schools including medicine, forensics and pharmacy.
