About the Department
The Department of Radiologic Sciences offers an entry level
baccalaureate degree, an RT to BSRS bridge degree program,
and a post baccalaureate certificate program. The entry
level baccalaureate degree is for individuals who are
not currently certified in professional areas and
wish to enter the discipline. That degree has tracks
leading either to certification in radiography, radiation
therapy, nuclear medicine, sonography or cardiovascular/interventional.
The RT to BSRS bridge programs offer certified professionals
a mechanism to complete a baccalaureate degree and develop
additional professional practice skills and addition
technical skills in an advanced radiography area (CT,
MRI, or mammography) or in the area of radiation therapy.
The post baccalaureate certificate program is a program
for individuals who hold a baccalaureate degree in radiologic
technology, radiologic sciences, or a related area and
wish to enter radiation therapy. These programs are supported
by nationally known faculty holding certifications in
multiple areas; have published numerous journal articles,
published or contributed to textbooks, published review
computer programs; have presented numerous papers and
honor lectures at international, national, and regional
meetings; and are in the forefront of developing Internet
based courses in radiologic sciences.
The department is housed in University Hall, one of the newer buildings
on campus which is an 88,000 square foot classroom and laboratory building.
The Radiologic Sciences suite consists of faculty offices, meeting spaces,
a small computer lab, a gross anatomy lab shared with Physical Therapy,
and a radiographic laboratory. The radiography laboratory consists of
four radiography rooms with General Electric Silhouette 20 Radiographic
Units, a darkroom, a viewing room for radiographic evaluation and critique,
a film library, and a preparation room for anatomy, pathology, and procedural
enhancement.
