Histological Technician Licensure

The Histological Technician program at SUNY Broome Community College has been approved by the New York State Department of Education as a licensure-qualifying program for the New York State Clinical Laboratory Technician.  Graduates of the program are eligible for the licensure in New York State, contingent upon the student submitting all application paperwork and fees and have earned an associate’s degree with the proper distribution and number of science courses required to meet NYS licensure requirements.  For further information, please visit the Office of the Professions.

Graduates of the program are eligible for certification by the new American Society of Clinical Pathology Board of Certification (ASCP BOR) using Route 2, which requires one year of full-time acceptable experience in a histopathology (clinical, veterinary, industry, or research) laboratory in the U.S., Canada, or an accredited laboratory within the last 10 years.

The issuing of the HT degree, however, is not contingent upon the students passing any type of external certifying or licensing examination.


NC-SARA

Effective July 1, 2024, federal regulation requires institutions of higher education to make a determination whether a Title IV eligible academic program that leads to professional licensure or certification meets the educational requirements for licensure/certification in the U.S. State where the institution is located and the U.S. States where “distance education” students are located at the time of initial enrollment in the program, as well as U.S. States where the program is advertised as meeting such requirements, and if applicable, the U.S. State where students attest they intend to be licensed/certified. The Clinical Laboratory Technician, A.A.S., Histological Technician A.A.S., and Histological Technician, Certificate programs at SUNY Broome Community College is registered by the New York State Education Department and thus meets the educational requirements for licensure/certification for New York State. Through a good faith effort, and for the purpose of complying with the federal regulation, we have determined that Clinical Laboratory Technician, A.A.S., Histological Technician A.A.S., and Histological Technician, Certificate programs at SUNY Broome Community College meets the educational requirements for licensure/certification in the following U.S. States: AZ, CN, MO, NJ, PA; however, it is important to note that SUNY Broome Community College is not the licensure/certification authority in these U.S. States and cannot assess whether an individual candidate will be issued a license/certificate in these U.S. States and instead it is incumbent on each individual candidate to contact the licensure/certification authority in the applicable U.S. State for any further guidance on the requirements for licensure/certification requirements and application processes.
