Medical technology is the study and practice of clinical laboratory methods. The curriculum at University Hospitals of Cleveland consists of three months of lectures and laboratory demonstrations followed by nine months of supervised rotations through clinical laboratories. These include clinical chemistry, microbiology, hematology, immunology, virology, serology, parasitology, phlebotomy and blood bank. One year of college credit is granted by Case Western Reserve University and other affiliated colleges toward a Bachelor of Science degree for completion of the course.

The major in medical technology in the College of Arts and Sciences permits students to fulfill, within a normal four-year period, the requirements for the Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology degree, as well as eligibility for certification by various agencies. Students are urged to apply for admission to University Hospitals' medical technology course in the spring of their sophomore year and no later than fall of their junior year. During the first three years of the program students are enrolled in the College of Arts and Sciences where they are required to complete a minimum of 90 hours distributed as follows:
- English composition requirement (3)
- MATH 105 (106 recommended) or 125 (126 recommended) (3-4)
- Western Reserve Core requirement in literature and arts (6)
- Western Reserve Core requirement in history and culture (6)
- Western Reserve Core requirement in social and behavioral sciences (6)
- BIOL 110, 111, 205, 210, 147 or 220, 316, 343, 344,346 (24)
- CHEM 105, 106, 113, 223 (224 recommended), 233, 304 (15)
- PHED (two semesters - Lifetime Sports Activities) (0)
- Electives (BIOL 328, physics, MIDS 308, and OPMT 350 recommended as electives) (26-27)
A student who desires to substitute other science courses for those specified above may obtain permission to do so in consultation with the medical technology adviser.
After completion of the required 90 credit hours and transcript evaluation during the junior year by the medical technology adviser, students are permitted to register for the 12-month medical technology course at University Hospitals, if accepted to the program. Minimum requirements for registration are:
- Completion of the distribution requirements and a cumulative 2.80 average.
- Guarantee of 30 semester hours of study by the university for successful completion of the 12 month medical technology program.
- Completion of the special prerequisites for medical technology courses and registry requirements.
The program is limited to citizens and permanent residents of the United States.
Students are admitted to the medical technology program in June only. Because of limitation on the number of students in this degree program, students should make application for admission through the Department of Medical Technology in the spring of the sophomore year.
After acceptance into the medical technology program, the student must indicate to the Office of Collegiate Affairs his/her intention of completing the senior year in medical technology and must file an application for graduation. A statement by University Hospitals' School of Medical Technology of the satisfactory completion of the year's course qualifies the student for the Bachelor of Science degree in medical technology from the College of Arts and Sciences. No tuition is charged by Case Western Reserve University for the senior year, and students are not eligible for financial aid. They are charged University Hospitals' fee for the program.
