Radiologic Sciences Admission Requirements - Traditional Program

Selection of applicants is made on a competitive basis. 

A student desiring admission to the Radiologic Sciences program must submit an online application for admission to the Office of Enrollment Management, an official transcript of grades, and an official statement documenting scores on the American College Test (ACT). Since the program has limited student capacity, selection into the program is competitive. Not every applicant who applies to the program will be selected.

No applicant is accepted until the admissions process is complete, which includes an interview by the admissions committee. Applicants should not present themselves for interviews until notified. Those applicants whom the admissions committee deems it advisable to interview are provided with sufficient notice of interview appointment.

In addition to the admission standards of the institution and the general admission requirements of the School of Health Related Professions, candidates seeking admission to the Radiologic Sciences program must:

  • Have completed a minimum of 60 semester hours of academic credit (exclusive of physical education, military science, dogmatic religion, and vocational courses) from a regionally accredited institution of higher learning;
  • Have a minimum overall cumulative grade point average of 2.5 on a 4.0 scale;
  • Complete an interview with the Radiologic Sciences Admissions Committee;
  • Submit ACT scores;
  • Hold current CPR certification at the time of registration;
  • Successfully complete a background check at the time of registration; and
  • Successfully complete (a grade of C or better) the following minimum prerequisite number of required courses.
