Bachelor of Science in Radiologic Science (B.S.R.S.)

College: College of Nursing and Health Professions

Description

The Radiologic Sciences Programs are administered by the Department of Medical Imaging and Radiation Sciences in the College of Nursing and Health Professions. The program is designed to produce Radiologic Science professionals who are clinically competent, advanced level radiologic sciences practitioners. The program is a "1 plus 1" model, meaning all students begin their sophomore year in radiography, then choose one of seven "tracks" for their senior year.

Radiography Component

It should be noted that before a student enters one of the specialty tracks, they must successfully complete the Radiography curriculum. Simply click on any of the 7 specialty tracks below for detailed information and the Radiography application.  The Radiography application is found in the Important Files box on the left side of the page of each of the tracks below.

Specialty Tracks

The Bachelor of Science in Radiologic Sciences Programs offer the radiologic professional the baccalaureate degree in 7 tracks.

• Track 1: Computed Tomography / Magnetic Resonance Imaging

  Provides students with the skills necessary to operate CT and MRI machines and control sectional images through computer enhancement.

• Track 2: Computed Tomography / Mammography

  Provides students with the skills necessary to operate CT and control sectional images through computer enhancement as well as operate specialized mammography machines, as well as perform needle localizations.

• Track 3: Radiation Therapy
