Feb. 28, 2017 NAIT research:
I can't get into University of Alberta because my grades are not good enough. I also don't want to spend 4 yrs to get a degree. I can research NAIT programs that are easier to get into. You can go in for 1 or 2 yr programs.
I'm looking into health and sciences, but it seems like I don't have the aptitude or interest.
By reading all this, I did learn a lot.
Cytotechnology
This program teaches students to prepare and analyze cytology samples and to screen microscope slides to evaluate cell specimens for evidence of disease, especially cancer.
