The UW Cytotechnology Program is currently undergoing a transition to a new sponsor within the University of Wisconsin System and is not accepting new students at this time. We are collaborating with UW-Milwaukee, UW-Green Bay, UW-Platteville, and UW-La Crosse to continue offering pathways in Cytology.
To stay informed about the program’s future and receive updates on application openings, please fill out our interest survey or contact us at cyto@office365.wisc.edu with any questions.
