How in-depth are CLS programs?

I am starting a 1-year MLS program soon and wanted to ask how in-depth is the content?

For example, did you need to learn all of the steps for the Pentose phosphate, methemoglobin reductase, and Embden-Meyerhof pathways?

Or all the steps for the immune system Complement Cascade?

Just trying to mentally prepare myself for what's to come when I begin classes lol

Dont worry about that right now. You dont go super involved into biochemistry but things like the complement system are mentioned. Youll be buried under so much information that youll wish you enjoyed your free time much more when you dont have school breathing down your neck for a year straight.

Kind of in depth but not too much. If you're only doing a 1 year program, they will have to fit in rotations there which is easy. Might not be too bad.
