A student can complete the required courses, obtain a certificate of completion, and be eligible to sit for the national certification examination. The courses offered in the Radiation Therapy program are upper-division and will be accepted as satisfying the requirements for a primary area emphasis for those students who have been accepted into the Bachelor of Sdence program. The program is three (3) full semesters in length, which requires the student to attend in the summer. A competency-based clinical evaluation system is utilized throughout the program. A student must achieve a predetermined level of competency in the academic and clinical courses in order to receive grades for the course. A minimum of 24 clock hours per week of clinical education must be completed in an affiliated health care facility. Radiation Therapy bachelors degree (bs) » Program Prerequisite: Must be an ARRT registered technologist or acceptable equivalent as determined by the Department of Radiologic Sciences, make application and be accepted to the program of choice (refer to the Admission Process in the next column). » Minor: The Advanced Radiologic Sdences minor is automatically satisfied by the requirements for the Radiation Therapy major. » Grade Requirements: After admission to the program, a GPA of 2.0 or a "C" is required in the professional courses. » Credit Hour Requirements: A total of 27 credit hours in didactic courses and 9 credit hours in clinical education are required.
