How many credits can transfer to KU's Cytotechnology 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 all the application materials need to be sent in together?

Not exactly. Please follow the instructions in the application packet carefully so all documents required from the student are properly submitted. We understand that reference letters and transcripts will arrive individually. Test scores must be submitted directly from the testing institution to KU. The other materials should be sent in together by the applicant..
