The student must spend one year in a hospital internship program to become a certified medical technologist. Prerequisites to the hospital internship include: 16 hours of biology, 16 hours of chemistry, one mathematics course, and completion of all general education requirements. Students may do an internship during their senior year with 32 hours of transfer credit applied to the biology major upon successful completion of the internship. Many students complete the requirements for a biology major first and then take the internship after graduation from Cedarville University. Special Programs Preagriculture Curriculum The preagriculture curriculum is designed to satisfy the technical and non-technical requirements of the first two years of a typical agriculture program. Students should research agricultural schools to which they wish to transfer at the junior level so that application materials can be completed in advance of deadlines. The preagriculture students should confer with their advisor to select electives based on the following criteria: • The requirements of the school to which they will transfer after leaving Cedarville University • The specific agricultural program they wish to enter Course requirements include core requirements and an emphasis in either agriculture business or agriculture science.
