PRE-MEDICAL
Students entering medical school are now required to have four years of college preparation. A student should plan a program so that if admission to a medical school is denied, a bachelor's degree in another area may be obtained without additional study.
Admission to a medical school is very competitive. To be considered by a school of medicine, a student must maintain a grade-point average of "B" and place high on the Medical College Admission Test.
The following courses are either required or strongly recommended for the first two years of a typical premedical curriculum. Students should refer to the catalog of the school to which they plan to transfer and modify the curriculum accordingly. Students who complete the requirements earn an Associate in Science degree from BSC.
BIOLOGY
Biology is the study of life, of plants and animals and their relationships in and to their environments. The biology program at BSC provides the fundamentals for students pursuing a career in any of the biological sciences. Students who complete the suggested two-year curriculum receive an Associate in Science degree and can transfer to bachelor degree programs at four-year colleges and universities.
Biology is also an important part of the foundation of many career fields including biological and environmental engineers. Agriculture, wildlife management and medicine are other areas that require strong backgrounds in biology. Students interested in any biological profession are strongly encouraged to become trained in Geographic Information System GIS) technology.
The courses listed below are required at most colleges granting a degree in biology. Students should consult the catalog of the college to which they plan to transfer in selecting specific courses.
MEDICAL LABORATORY SCIENCES
The mission of the Medical Laboratory Technician (MLT) Program is to provide a high quality learning-centered education in medical laboratory theory and practice that maximizes student learning and makes students partners in their education.
The MLT, under the supervision of a physician or medical laboratory scientist, performs many general laboratory tests which aid physicians in the diagnosis and treatment of disease. MLTs are in demand throughout the nation in clinical, research and public health laboratories.
The goals of the Bismarck State College MLT program are to train competent MLTs with the knowledge and skills necessary to demonstrate entry level proficiency in all areas of medical laboratory science, to provide a two-year associate degree program for students in North Dakota and surrounding states, and to operate a program in which a maximum number of credits will fulfill requirements for four-year Medical Laboratory Science programs in the state. The curriculum outlined below is prescribed to allow a student to meet these employment and transferability goals.
Medical laboratory science is a demanding field of study and career. Success depends on self-discipline, self-motivation, self-reliance, integrity and the ability to work independently to solve problems and produce accurate laboratory results under stressful conditions.
Students receive both theoretical and experiential study, including a 7-month rotation through one of the program's clinical affiliate laboratories at Medcenter One Health Systems or St. Alexius Medical Center. Minimum grade requirements for those enrolled in the program are a 2.00 grade point average in all science and math courses and a 2.00 grade point average overall. Those who complete the requirements earn an associate in science degree and are eligible to write a national board examination to become certified as a MLT.
A strong science background (completion of high school units in chemistry, biology and algebra, or equivalent) is recommended for success in this program. The MLT program is highly selective and has a limited enrollment. Selection depends upon academic preparation as well as early date of application. The deadline for applications is May 1.
An interview and tour of Medcenter One Health Systems laboratory are required prior to acceptance into the program.
The purposes of the tour and interview are to assist students in making the right career choice, and to design a semester-by semester curriculum plan for each student, which will afford him/her the greatest opportunity for success.
