To meet entry-level competency requirements for immunology credits, students entering as certified cytotechnology graduates who have not completed three credits in immunology are required to enroll in LS 531 Immunology. Certified cytotechnology graduates who have completed three credits of immunology may enroll in a program-approved elective.
- 3
To meet the research requirement, students may take a classroom literature review-based course (LS 803) or, under special circumstances, engage in a two-semester wet bench research project with a selected PI (LS 804 and LS 805). Students must meet with their faculty advisor and/or program director to determine which option best meets their educational goals. LS 804 and LS 805 are not a substitute for nor may run concurrently with practica courses.
