BS in Radiologic Sciences (Radiography)
Boston
Radiography (RAD) uses ionizing radiation to create images of body parts and organ systems for medical diagnostic purposes. The 32-month BS in Radiologic Sciences with a major in RAD 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 pre-professional and general education courses. Second- and third-year courses include professional course work, RAD 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.
Upon graduation from the 32-month BS program with a major in Radiography, provided all other eligibility criteria are met, the student is eligible to apply for certification through examination by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists
