MCG can provide information on student aid, including loans, when you apply to the program. Many laboratories provide financial assistance for their employees. The program was approved by the Board of Regents, University System of Georgia, in January, 2000. You can re-take them or exempt them by CLEP or ACT exams. 5 quarter hours are equivalent to 3 Semester hours.
Quarter hours are acceptable.
Foreign credit must be evaluated by an independent service, which assigns equivalent grades and hours. For the theory courses, yes, but there is an Internship component for five of the six semesters. Internship consists of a check-off of basic skills in the area and then special assignments that would be developed with the site. Some of the activities that past students have done included mock inspections, review and editing safety and procedure manuals, instrument comparisons, developing and presenting case studies, working with the inventory system, point of care testing, or other technical or administrative tasks that the facility needs help with. If your facility is not able to act as the internship site then you, the student, would have to find one, and be able to spend 11 hours a week for 15 weeks each semester at that site.
