BS in Radiologic Sciences (Nuclear Medicine Technology)
Boston
Nuclear medicine technology (NMT) uses radioactive pharmaceuticals to diagnose and treat disease. The 32-month BS in Radiologic Sciences at MCPHS with a major in NMT is an accelerated, year-round program. It integrates classroom instruction in the liberal arts, the basic and applied sciences, and the social sciences with professional course work and clinical instruction.
A typical program of study includes a first-year core curriculum of non-major courses and general education courses. Second- and third-year courses include professional course work, NMT internships, and a small number of core curriculum requirements.
In addition, students must fulfill distribution elective requirements of twelve semester hours, including three semester hours in each of these four areas: behavioral science, humanities, social science, and liberal arts.
Clinical rotations provide a range of diverse learning experiences. To ensure the availability and quality of clinical rotations, clinical sites may be near campus or in the metropolitan Boston area and contiguous states. Students are responsible for their own transportation.
Upon graduation, students are eligible to apply for certification through examination by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists and the Nuclear Medicine Technology Certification Board.
