Program Description:
(Selective Admission)
Histotechnicians assist pathologists, physicians, and scientists in preparing tissues for microscopic examination. This program prepares graduates in the essential skills, techniques, and specialized competencies required for successful employment as a histologic technician.
The Histotechnician program at Harford Community College is accredited by the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences. Graduates are eligible to take the national certification examination given by the American Society of Clinical Pathology.
This program is articulated with Harford Community College. Students complete all science and general education requirements at CCBC. The clinical training component of the program will be provided on the Harford Community College campus and at various clinical sites throughout the metropolitan area. Students participating in this program will transfer credits to Harford Community College and must graduate in accordance with the accreditation requirements of the Histotechnician program. The program is designed so that students are required to make a minimum number of trips to the Harford campus, generally not more that 4 or 5 for the entire clinical portion of the program. Students may apply for admission to the program and to Harford Community College online.
Admission to this program is a separate process from admission to the college. Admission to the School of Health Professions programs is competitive and selective and is based on published criteria. Information about admissions processes for the programs in the School of Health Professions and the Selective Admissions Application form are available in the Office of Selective Admissions in Room J-101 on the Essex Campus or by calling 410-780-6112. This information is also available in the Admissions or Records and Registration office on each campus.
Admission Prerequisites:
Students are required to achieve grades of “C” or better in BIOL 120, Human Anatomy & Physiology I; BIOL 121, Human Anatomy & Physiology II, CHEM 121/122 General Chemistry I lecture and lab; and CHEM 123/124, General Chemistry II lecture & lab and an overall minimum GPA of 2.0 for all college courses completed.
School of Health Professions Policies: Students in the School of Health Professions are expected to conduct themselves according to an honor code, exhibit professional behavior, communicate effectively in English, provide proof of health insurance and immunizations, and may be asked to submit to a criminal background check and random urine drug testing.
