Cytotechnology Policies

Transfer students must take a minimum of 8 biology credits at Edgewood for a Cytotechnology major.

A student must maintain a cumulative grade point average of 2.5 in all required courses. A required course in which the student receives a grade below “CD” will not be accepted toward the major. The computer competency requirement will be met through completion of the biology core courses (BIO 151F5, BIO 152F5).

After showing satisfactory progress in the internship program, the student will be permitted to participate in the May commencement ceremony as an August graduate.

When the entire 38-credit internship is successfully completed in August, the student will be granted a B.S. degree in Cytotechnology from Edgewood College and will be certified by the State Laboratory of Hygiene. The student will then be eligible to take the CT (ASCP) examination for national certification.
