FAQs

Answer: Students can expect to be in classes 5 days a week. Courses are offered in the morning, afternoon, and evening. Students should expect their Health Science fall and spring schedule to include a Friday class.

Answer: The Senior year tracks/learning communities are designed so that you will have class with the same students for each of your core courses during the fall semester of your senior year. In  the spring semester, based on your concentration area, you will also have the same students for each concentration-specific course. The design of this model therefore does not allow you to mix and match courses from different tracks. For example, if you are enrolled into track 2, you must register for all the courses from track 2 (you would not be able to enroll into courses from other tracks).

Answer: The radiologic technology program is two years in length. The first year of the radiologic technology program is the credit-bearing Health Science major’s senior year curriculum. This year is designed to provide students with a didactic foundation. The second year of the program is a clinical non-credit, non-degree certificate program which is designed to foster clinical skills and competencies. Students must complete both components of the program to qualify for the national registry examination. Total length of study is 5 years: Health Science major (4 years) + 8 months (clinical non-credit, non-degree certificate program) = 5 years. Please visit www.jrcert.org for a list of other radiologic technology programs in the region.

Answer: In addition to taking the five core courses during the fall of your senior year, you will also be required to take our Radiation Physics in Medicine class if you plan to apply to the Medical Dosimetry, Radiation Therapy, or Radiologic Technology concentrations. If you are planning on applying to the Healthcare Quality Coding and Reimbursement concentration, you will be required to take our Pathophysiology course in addition to your five core course. During the beginning of the fall semester, you would submit your application for the clinical non-credit, non-degree certificate program of choice. The applications open from approximately the middle of September through the middle of October. You may apply to more than one clinical non-credit, non-degree certificate program. Since our clinical non-credit, non-degree certificate program are very competitive, please see your Health Science advisor for suggestions as to what pre-requisite courses may make you a more competitive candidate.
