BSc in Radiologic Sciences in Fargo United States | North Dakota State University

The Radiologic Sciences program at North Dakota State University integrates core science, mathematics, and general education classes on campus with hands-on imaging instruction through classroom learning, laboratory work, and clinical training during an intensive two-year hospital internship. Students can choose from three distinct specialization tracks: radiography, diagnostic medical sonography, or echocardiography.

This Bachelor of Science degree requires two or more years of demanding academic coursework on campus, followed by a two-year full-time professional internship at a partner hospital. Ideal candidates should possess strong scientific and mathematical abilities along with a passion for patient care. The curriculum covers chemistry, physics, anatomy, physiology, microbiology, trigonometry, psychology, statistics, and computer science, alongside general education requirements. All three specialization tracks—radiography, echocardiography, and diagnostic medical sonography—share identical prerequisite coursework. Transfer students must complete at least 12-20 credits at NDSU before beginning their internship, with specific requirements varying by specialization. In their final on-campus year, eligible students apply for the two-year internship, which provides specialized training for careers in their chosen field. The combination of academic coursework and clinical education results in a four-year degree from NDSU. Graduates in radiography can pursue ARRT certification, while sonography graduates qualify for ARDMS certification exams in their respective specialties.
