Hospitality Systems Minor

A minor in Hospitality Systems at NMU provides students the knowledge and skills fundamental to any food service operation. Students will understand the hospitality industry’s scope while acquiring the essential operational expertise in food service sanitation and facilities management, including industry certification required for all Michigan restaurants to operate. Designed to be accomplished in one year with the opportunity for diverse, pre-approved electives.

Along with the required ten HM-specific credits, the student may select six elective credits with preapproval from an HM advisor. All HM prefixes are allowed in the minor. Additional prefixes of ACT, CN, EC, HN, HV, IA, IM, LDR, MGT, RE, and REN at or above the 100 level are considered. The HM advisor will send a statement to the Registrar's Office when the majority of the courses on the plan have been completed.

Cosmetology Certificate

Combines the theory and practical application needed to prepare graduates for entry-level positions in the cosmetology profession. Scientific principles are applied through grooming of patrons. Cosmetologists perform such services as shaping and tinting eyebrows and lashes, applying makeup, permanent waving, coloring and straightening hair, manicuring and giving scalp and facial treatments. Graduates may find employment in independent shops and salons, in hair styling departments of large firms and hotels, or with manufacturers of cosmetic or hair products. Some graduates open their own shops.

Clinical Laboratory Science Major: Concentration - Anatomic Pathology

(Major for either Histotechnologist and Cytotechnologist Certification.)

Students in this concentration will earn a bachelor of science degree and HTL or CT certification. Graduates work closely with pathologists in anatomic pathology departments of hospitals or clinics.

Cytotechnologists (not to be confused with cytogeneticists) prepare cellular samples (such as those from PAP smears and biopsies) for study under the microscope and assist in the diagnosis of disease by the examination of these samples. Histotechnologists prepare body tissue for examination by a pathologist to diagnose body dysfunction and malignancy and identify tissue structures, cell component and staining characteristics, relate these to physiologic functions, implement and evaluate new techniques and procedures, make quality control judgments and apply principles of management and education methodology when appropriate.

The first three years of the curriculum are at the university; the fourth year is completed through an accredited cytotechnology or histotechnology practicum off campus. The university is affiliated with hospitals in Wisconsin and Michigan; however, students may apply to any accredited school in the United States. If students meet the hospital’s standards and are accepted, they register for the cytotechnology or histotechnology practicum courses at NMU and pursue a twelve-month full time program under the direction of the hospital.

Clinical Laboratory Science Major: Concentration - Diagnostic Genetics

Cytogenetics or Molecular Diagnostics Practicum

Students in this concentration may earn CLT certification and then proceed to become certified in cytogenetics CLSp(CG), or molecular diagnostics CLSp(MB). Cytogenetics focuses on the identification of abnormalities of chromosomes or regions of DNA associated with pathology and disease. Molecular diagnostics is a laboratory field which focuses on gene mutations and polymorphisms that contribute to disease states. The main difference between the two is that cytogenetics is chromosome based (microscopy techniques) whereas molecular diagnostics is PCR/molecular-based (primarily gel-techniques). Both fields are growing rapidly due to ongoing discoveries of genes associated with disease. Students participate in two clinical practicum experiences – one at the sophomore level and another at the senior level. The senior practicum is conducted at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.

In order to be granted a bachelor's degree in the diagnostic genetics concentration, a student must have an NMU cumulative grade point average of 3.0, meet specific course grade requirements, and receive no less than a "B-" in any CLS course.

Criteria for placement into the practicum includes a minimum 3.0 GPA in selected required courses. Other requirements can be found under the appropriate course descriptions and in the Clinical Sciences Policy Manual.
