Radiologic Sciences Programs

 

  
Programs
 

The Department of Radiologic Sciences offers a traditional Bachelor of Science in Radiologic Sciences program with the opportunity to study advanced modalities including mammography, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), vascular radiography, radiology administration, ultrasound, and radiation therapy. 

This traditional Bachelor of Science program is designed for:

  • students with a high school diploma seeking a first bachelor's degree.
  • students with a bachelor’s degree in any field other than Radiography seeking a second bachelor's degree.

The Bachelor of Science in Radiologic Sciences degree program consists of a pre-professional component followed by a professional component. The pre-professional component consists of approximately two years (4 semesters) of general education and prerequisite courses. The professional component consists of 6 semesters of didactic (classroom) and clinical study in Radiologic Sciences. At the end of the first year in the professional component (junior year - summer semester), students will select from three specialization tracks to complete (see explanation of tracks below). It is important to note that admission to the various modalities may be limited to the availability of clinical rotation sites. Therefore, students will be asked to rank their first, second, and third preference of tracks and modalities. When the fall semester of the senior year begins, students will take courses in the specialized area. 

Second Bachelor's degree in Radiologic Sciences - Students with a bachelor’s degree in any field other than Radiography are eligible to pursue a second bachelor’s degree in Radiologic Sciences. Applicants admitted into the professional component as second bachelor’s degree-seeking students will complete both years of the professional component of Radiologic Sciences. Note: Students who hold a bachelor’s degree in Radiography may not earn an additional bachelor’s degree in Radiography.

For those who hold ARRT-approved associates or bachelor’s degrees, the dept. offers several programs including 1) a Bridge Bachelor of Science in Radiologic Sciences degree program, 2) an online Bachelor of Science in Radiologic Sciences degree program, and 3) certification or continuing education opportunities in advanced imaging modalities. Review the programs offered below to decide which program is best for you.

 

â–¼   Bachelor of Science in Radiologic Sciences - Radiography

The Department of Radiologic Sciences offers a traditional Bachelor of Science in Radiologic Sciences with the opportunity to study diagnostic radiography and an advanced modality including mammography, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and vascular radiography. 


This traditional Bachelor of Science in Radiologic Sciences degree program is designed for:

  • Students with a high school diploma seeking a first bachelor’s degree.
  • Students with a bachelor’s degree in any field other than Radiography seeking a second degree.
       

A new cohort enters the radiography program as a junior each fall semester. At the end of the first year in the professional component (junior year - summer semester), students will select from three specialization tracks to complete: (1) advanced modality to include CT, MRI, Vascular, or Mammography, (2) ultrasound, or (3) radiation therapy. It is important to note that admission to the various modalities may be limited to the availability of clinical rotation sites. Therefore, students will be asked to rank their first, second, and third preference of tracks and modalities.

â–¼   Bridge Bachelor of Science in Radiologic Sciences Program for Registered Radiographers
The Bridge Bachelor of Science in Radiologic Sciences program is designed for:
  • Registered Radiographers who do not have a baccalaureate degree.
  • Registered Radiographers who have a baccalaureate degree in a major other than Radiologic Sciences, but choose to seek a second baccalaureate degree in Radiologic Sciences.

The professional component consists of 1 semester of a bridge course (Summer) and 3 semesters (Fall, Spring, and Summer) of didactic (classroom) and clinical study in Radiologic Sciences. Students accepted into the program may select from the 3 tracks (4 options) listed below for the professional component of the program.

  • Track 1 Option 1: Two advanced imaging modalities (Mammography, MRI, Vascular Radiography, or CT).
  • Track 1 Option 2: One advanced imaging modality (Mammography, MRI, Vascular Radiography, or CT) AND Radiology Administration
  • Track 2: Ultrasound Only
  • Track 3: Radiation Therapy Only

 

â–¼   Online Bachelor of Science in Radiologic Sciences Program for Registered Radiographers

The Online RT to Bachelor of Science program is designed for:

  • Registered Radiographers without a baccalaureate degree who are searching for an online B.S. in Radiologic Sciences program.
  • Registered Radiographers who have a baccalaureate degree in a major other than Radiologic Sciences, but seek a second baccalaureate degree in Radiologic Sciences that is completely online.

The online option for the Bridge Bachelor of Science in Radiologic Sciences is only available for the Computed Tomography (CT) and Radiology Administration combination.
