Health Science Comprehensive Major
Medical Technology Comprehensive Option
Bachelor of Science
NSS BS 5603
- Students may receive a Bachelor of Science degree in Medical Technology from the
University of Nebraska at Kearney after satisfactory completion of a program consisting of
90 semester hours of pre-medical technology and a fourth year (12 month) clinical program
at an affiliated school of medical technology. Admission to an affiliated school is very
competitive and not guaranteed. The following degree requirements are consistent with the
requirements of the University of Nebraska Medical Center, our primary affiliated school
of medical technology. Students will need to check with other programs to which they want
to apply to ensure requirements are fulfilled.
