How many credits can transfer to KU's Cytotechnology program?

A maximum of 64 of the total 90 credit hours may be transferred to the program.

I don't have the math prerequisite. Can I test out and earn an exemption?

Yes. If you do not possess an equivalent math course, you may take a placement exam to see if a math course will be required.



Do I need to get the background check done when applying to the program?

No, but you will be required to follow the background check procedure once you are accepted into the program and to complete it before you are allowed to enter the program.



Will my financial aid transfer over from KU to KUMC?

I already have a degree, but it's from a non-U.S. university. What steps do I need to take?

All non-U.S. transcripts must be evaluated before they will be accepted. Please see our information for international students page for more details about this procedure.

Is there any housing available on-campus?
