Traditional students usually enter the University as freshmen with little or no prior college credit. These students typically have no experience working in a medical imaging field but may have completed some or most of the coursework required under the University’s General Education Curriculum (GEC) in their freshman and sophomore years. Many have an interest and/or have completed coursework in the sciences and/or health care. Some may have prepared for their professional programs by fulfilling the necessary prerequisites in their freshman and sophomore years. Most begin their professional coursework in Radiologic Sciences and Therapy in the junior year of their undergraduate programs.
Non-traditional students bring with them prior education and/or past experience working in a professional medical imaging field. and are certified by The American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT), the American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonography (ARDMS), or the Nuclear Medicine Technology Certification Board (NMTCB). These students will apply for enrollment in the Degree Completion Program.
