Radiologic Sciences 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.

- 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
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. The professional component consists of 1 semester of a bridge course (Summer) and 3 semesters (Fall, Spring, and Summer) of virtual didactic study in Radiologic Sciences.
- Registered Radiographers who wish to study an advanced imaging modality as a means of continuing education.
- Registered Radiographers who already hold a baccalaureate degree in a major other than Radiologic Sciences and choose to study an advanced imaging modality, without earning a second baccalaureate degree.
The advanced imaging modalities include Mammography, Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Vascular Radiography, Radiology Administration, Ultrasound, and Radiation Therapy.
