Joint Program in Nuclear Medicine Technology

Course Sequence

Bachelor Degree Program --Major in one of the sciences; at time of graduation, a BS in the science with a concentration in Nuclear Medicine Technology. (Majors include Biology, Chemistry, Natural Sciences, or Biotechnology)

Certificate Program --A student with a baccalaureate degree who has met all of the requirements to apply to the Nuclear Medicine Technology Program. At time of graduation, the student is awarded a Certificate in Nuclear Medicine Technology. In both programs, at time of graduation, the student is a registry-eligible nuclear medicine technologist, eligible to take ether or both certification examinations.

Bachelor's Degree Program

Baccalaureate students interview in the spring of their sophomore year; if they are accepted:

During the freshman and sophomore years, students work toward their majors as well as take the required courses for acceptance into the Nuclear Medicine Technology Program. These courses include Calculus I & II, General Physics I & II, Chemistry I & II and General Physics I & II

Summer Session I – A two-week orientation, observing the technologist at work. This is an opportunity for students to get a first-hand look at the field that they may be entering.
