Cytotechnologists are medical laboratory professionals who specialize in finding and diagnosing cancer cells under the microscope. Our accelerated post-baccalaureate program prepares you for this rewarding career in just one year.
The Cytotechnology Program is located in the Wisconsin State Laboratory of Hygiene, on Henry Mall in the heart of the University of Wisconsin–Madison campus. Founded in 1957, the Cytotechnology Program, formerly known as the School of Cytotechnology, became part of the Laboratory of Genetics within the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences (CALS) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2009. The program was slated for discontinuation in 2023 with a teach out period extending into 2025. Currently the Wisconsin State Lab of Hygiene is searching for an academic home for the program while acting as a Clinical location for the Albany School of Pharmacy and Health Science’s CAAHEP accredited Master’s Program; allowing for the continued training of these essential medical professionals in Wisconsin.
