Pre-Cytotechnology Curriculum (F05)
2008 - 2009
Admission to the College of Pharmacy & Allied Health:
- Completion of a minimum of 60 semester hours, including all courses identified in the table below, is required to be considered for admission to the professional program in Cytotechnology.
- Admission to the professional program in Cytotechnology is selective. Minimum Grade Point Averages of 2.50 in science and 2.50 overall are required to be considered. These averages are computed after the Winter Semester preceding admission. All preprofessional courses must be completed with no grade lower than a "C" (a grade of "C-" is not acceptable).
- Applicants may not have more than two marks of "R" (course retake) or more than two marks of "W".
- Students must maintain a minimum GPA of 2.50 in the professional program to enter the clinical year.
- The professional program begins only in the fall. With the exception of the Writing Intensive Course in the major, all preprofessional and University General Education requirements must be completed by the end of the preceding Spring/Summer Term.
- The Application deadline for the professional program is March 1. For an application go to www.cphs.wayne.edu
- Time limitation: please refer to the WSU Undergraduate Bulletin for the time limit concerning preprofessional sciences and completion of the professional program.
- Students are strongly encouraged to attend an Informational Meeting held on the first Tuesday of every month at 6:00 p.m. at the Eugene Applebaum College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, 259 Mack Avenue.
- It is the student's responsibility to obtain updated information concerning changes in the pre-professional program by contacting Clinical Laboratory Science, Eugene Applebaum College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, (313) 577-1716 or cphsinfo@wayne.edu, and by maintaining contact with the University Advising Center.
