Note: Moraine Park Technical College is currently accepting applications to the Clinical Laboratory Technician program.

Due to current demand, once admitted to the program there is a minimum wait of 2 - 3 years to enroll in clinical core classes. As a result, Moraine Park cannot guarantee continuous full-time enrollment for students with precore status. (Precore status is assigned to all accepted nursing students who are either working to complete the clinical prerequisites or who have completed prerequisites but are waiting for clinical course availability.
