Coursework
B.S. Radiologic Sciences Programs
The curriculum for the advanced clinical concentration for radiographers prepares qualified technologists for advanced skills in 1) cardiac interventional radiography (CI), 2) computed tomography (CT), 3) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) 4) mammography, and 5) vascular interventional radiography (VI).
The diagnostic medical sonography (DMS) curriculum prepares the student to become skilled in the performance of medical ultrasound procedures. Courses include patient care, sonographic imaging, physics, and clinical experience.
The radiation therapy curriculum prepares the student to become skilled in the performance of radiation therapy procedures. Courses include patient care, radiation and clinical oncology, radiation physics, dosimetry, and clinical experience.
Prior to entering any of the B.S. programs, students must complete courses in oral and written communication, arts and humanities, cultural and historical studies, social and behavioral science, psychology, computer science, college-level mathematics, statistics, and human anatomy and physiology. Prerequisites may be taken at any accredited college or university.
In addition, for the advanced clinical concentration for radiographers, 40 to 48 credit hours of professional radiography course work are required. For the diagnostic medical sonography and radiation therapy concentration, health professions coursework or electives are required.
Upon completion of the program, graduates are eligible to take the national certification examinations within their specific clinical discipline.
A.S. Radiography Program
The A.S. in radiography program begins each July (summer session II) and is a full-time day program involving classroom and laboratory experiences on campus and clinical experiences at local hospitals. The curriculum follows a pattern designed to train students to become adept in the performance of diagnostic radiography procedures.
Radiography courses include:
- Radiologic Principles
- Radiographic Procedures
- Radiography Physics
- Radiation Protection
- Radiobiology
- Clinical Coursework
- Medical Terminology
- Human Anatomy and Physiology
- Pathology
