Medical Terminology is the study of the words used in healthcare to describe the body, diseases, procedures, tests, and treatments. It focuses on how medical terms are built from prefixes, suffixes, and root words, so you can understand what a term means even if you have never seen it before. The course also introduces common abbreviations and the language used across major body systems.
The course is self-paced and online, built around video lessons, quizzes, an assignment, and a final exam. Your grade is weighted equally across four parts: 25% Attendance, 25% Quizzes, 25% Assignments, and 25% Final Exam, so consistent work through the term counts as much as the final. When you complete the 3-credit course, the transcript record is what UMT evaluates and maps to HA 105 – Essential Medical Terminology.
Decoding a term like "cardiomyopathy" from its prefix, root, and suffix lets you read unfamiliar medical language without looking up every word. That skill carries into jobs that involve health records, insurance claims, or reports from clinical staff. At UMT, HA 105 – Essential Medical Terminology is a credit you can apply toward the Associate of Business Administration or the Bachelor of Business Administration, so the skill and the degree progress move together.
After you finish, request that your official transcript be sent to UMT. The Office of Academic Affairs evaluates transfer credit against UMT course outcomes, with review by faculty or subject-matter experts, and the registrar then applies HA 105 – Essential Medical Terminology to your record. Because this is a named course equivalency, the credit posts as a specific UMT course code, which makes it easier to place within your Associate or Bachelor of Business Administration plan. Transfer credit at UMT is capped at 90 credits (75%), so count this 3-credit course against that limit when you map out your remaining requirements.
This course suits adults who already have some college credit and want to finish a UMT degree at a lower total cost, as well as people changing careers toward business roles that touch healthcare. Because UMT recognizes it as a named equivalency to HA 105, it is a more predictable transfer than a general elective, though it still counts toward UMT's 90-credit transfer ceiling (75% of the degree). It is not a fit for students who need hands-on clinical training or a laboratory science, since the course focuses on terminology, abbreviations, and body-system vocabulary.
