Class size is limited and all applicants may not be selected for participation in the program. Applications must be received by May 1 to be assured of consideration for admission.  Applicants must provide:

Recent organizational changes in the UAMS Medical Dosimetry program have resulted in a change in the application process.  At this time the Medical Dosimetry program is being offered to only certified radiation therapist [RT(T)(ARRT)] who are in good standing with the ARRT.

  1. Application for Admission: The College of Health Professions Application for Admission is required.* You may choose to apply directly online by clicking here or you may print a copy of the application, then complete and mail it to the address on the form.
     
  2. Application Fee:  A $40.00 non-refundable fee is required and must accompany the application.  (If applying to multiple programs, a $40.00 fee is required for the first program and $10.00 for each additional program.)
     
  3. Official Transcripts: Arrange for each college or university you have attended to forward an official transcript of your course work to CHP, Admissions Office, 4301 West Markham, #619, Little Rock, AR  72205. A prerequisite GPA of at least 2.8 is required to be considered for admission.
