The Programs
This one-year, full-time, program can be
taken to complete a bachelor's degree or, for those already holding a
bachelor's degree, to obtain an advanced certificate. The educational
program consists of classroom instruction, laboratory experience, and
clinical rotations for 12 consecutive months beginning each August.
There are four tracks in this program designed for those students who
have a radiation therapy degree and those that have science degrees who
seek either the bachelor's degree or an advanced certificate.
The
pre-professional curriculum for those seeking the bachelor's degree
consists of 78-93 semester credits (SC) of course work with eight SC of
physics and 12 SC of mathematics, including calculus I and II. The
professional sequence is dependent on the entry-level credentials of the
student. If the student is a registered radiation therapist, an
additional 32 SC of course work is required over the 12 months. If the
individual is a science major without the radiation therapy credential,
45 SC are required to complete the program (21 SC of radiation therapy
course work and 24 SC of specific courses in medical dosimetry).
The
pre-professional curriculum required for the advanced certificate is 50
SC with the same science sequence (39 SC hours) required in the
bachelor's degree program. Courses taken previously as part of a
bachelor's degree program can be counted toward the prerequisite
requirements. The professional sequence is identical to that of those
seeking a bachelor's degree. Students who have no radiation therapy
credential must complete 45 SC and students with that credential must
complete 32 SC of professional course work.
