NOTE: the certificate program will be increasing in length for the Fall of 2010. It will be approximately 16 - 18 months in length and will no longer accept non-RTT applicants. This certificate option will be available for RTT professionals that are seeking certificate program options only.

Prerequisites

The Medical Dosimetry program requires that applicants either have completed the following when they apply, or have a plan to complete the following courses and other prerequisites prior to summer semester before enrollment.  Though many of the prerequisites are science courses, there is a not a required undergraduate major.  Many applicants have biology, physics, chemistry, math, or health professions majors; however, the program has enrolled students that have graduated with a wide variety of other majors. Comparable courses from other accredited institutions are also acceptable.

Current Certificate Program:

  • Applicant must be:
    • Track 1
