With the introduction of computer technology into the radiologic sciences, medical imaging has expanded tremendously. The program is four years in length. To be granted a bachelor of science degree, the student must complete a total of 128 credits. The student completes 64 credits of academic work prior to entering the Radiologic Technology major. These 64 credits comprise liberal arts and sciences.
Students enter the professional portion of the program in the fall semester of their junior year.
The major course schedule is usually complemented by general anatomy and physiology or an elective course in the student's area of interest. The Radiologic Technology Program offers a professional plan of study with two specific concentrations. Plan A is for the student who wishes to use radiologic technology as a pathway to another health profession. Plan B is for the student who is interested in focusing on education or management. This plan of study is particularly appropriate for the student whose long-range career goals include positions as health care administrators or educators in radiologic technology.
