* These courses are strongly
recommended to provide the student with flexibility should the student decide
to switch tracks. 32
biology credits (minimum grade of “C”) are required for the major. |

A student also needs an internship
in a cytotechnology school to be a cytotechnologist. One year of internship
in an approved cytotechnology program is equivalent to 32 semester credits of
upper division biology course work. The internship may be taken in the senior
year or the year following graduation. There are two ways to enter the Cytotechnology Program. 1)
Acceptance on completion of your bachelor's degree and meeting the
requirements listed below; 2) Entering as a senior where your fourth-year
training is valid as the fourth-year completion of your bachelor's degree. If
you select this way to enter then you must have completed your general
education requirements by the end of your third year. Students entering as
fourth-year seniors are expected to complete their bachelor's degree requirements
at the time they complete their Cytotechnology Training Program. The
following prerequisites are required to apply for admission: |
·
Three years (90 semester hours) in an affiliated college (CSS is
affiliated). ·
Twenty semester hours in biology and/or the biological sciences
-- including courses such as general
biology, cell biology, physiology,
anatomy, histology, microbiology,
parasitology, zoology, embryology and genetics.
·
Eight semester hours in chemistry. ·
Three semester hours in basic mathematics. ·
Your college cumulative grade point average should be at
least 2.75 (4.0 scale). Applicants are not selected based on grades
alone. |
