Medical Technology

Cooperative Program

In cooperation with Rush University's College of Health and Sciences, Knox offers a five year, dual-degree program in Medical Technology.

Students interested in medical technology (clinical laboratory science) may take advantage of cooperative programs between Knox College and Rush University's College of Health Sciences. After three years at Knox and two at Rush, a student earns a Bachelor of Arts degree from Knox as well as a professional degree from Rush.

Prior to starting study at the cooperating institution, a Knox student must:

  • have received at least 27 credits with at least a 2.5 grade point average;
  • have been in residence on the Knox campus at least 6 terms and have earned at least 18 Knox credits;
  • have completed all the requirements for a Knox degree except the requirements for the major, for total credits, and that the last credits and terms before the degree be in residence;
  • be recommended for the program by the Dean of the College or, upon the Dean's request, by the faculty program advisor.

Professional work in health care requires the application of scientific knowledge to patient care. In addition to taking specified courses in biology and chemistry, students in this program are expected to pursue courses in statistics and composition while at Knox. The work at Rush provides clinical training and experience.

Students interested in this program should contact the program advisor early to discuss the specific requirements and to plan their courses accordingly.
