At the end of the first professional year, students will be asked to make a choice on how they wish to complete the degree.

There are three tracks from which to choose to complete the second professional year.

• Track I – General Radiography plus one advanced imaging modality (Vascular Imaging, CT, MRI, Mammography)
• Track 2 – Ultrasound only
• Track 3 – Radiation Therapy only

In addition to one of the modalities in Track 1, students may choose to add studies in Radiology Administration.

Students may also choose to complete the second professional year as described for Track 1, and then later apply for admission to any advanced modality including Ultrasound or Radiation Therapy. Please note that students with bachelor’s degrees in Radiologic Sciences do not currently qualify for federal financial aid benefits when pursuing additional certifications such as Radiation Therapy.

Bridge Program Students

Registered Radiographers wishing to complete a bachelor’s degree in Radiologic Sciences are responsible for completing all requirements from the first and second year of the pre-professional component of the program prior to enrolling in the professional component of the Radiologic Sciences program. Upon successful completion of the bridge course, the Radiologic Sciences advisor will request for 38 hours of alternative credit (i.e. credit from the first professional year of the Radiologic Sciences program) to be added to the students’ Degree Audit. Bridge student will choose either TWO advanced imaging specialties from the Second Professional Year Track I, ONE advanced imaging specialty and Radiologic Administration from the Second Professional Year Track I, the Second Professional Year for Ultrasound---Track II only, or the Second Professional Year for Radiation Therapy--- Track III only. Bridge program students complete the program in 4 semesters (includes 2 summer terms). Students participating in the bridge program may have RAD 411 waived after successfully completing RAD 491 if the student will otherwise meet the upper-division residency requirement.
