Histotechnologists play a crucial behind-the-scenes role in assisting physicians with patient diagnosis and treatment. Through Roosevelt's program, students master the application of specialized stains and chemical processes to detect microscopic tissue irregularities. Healthcare careers beyond nursing, medicine, and pharmacy encompass diverse diagnostic, technical, therapeutic, and patient support services that are essential to both medical teams and those receiving care. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, job prospects for certified professionals range from favorable to outstanding. Roosevelt offers Bachelor of Science programs in Diagnostic Medical Sonography, Histotechnology, Medical Technology, Nuclear Medicine Technology, Radiation Therapy Technology, and Radiography. These programs combine academic coursework at Roosevelt with hands-on clinical training at partner facilities. Note that clinical placement requires a separate application process, and admission is competitive.

Roosevelt requires applicants to attain a cumulative unweighted high school GPA of 2.0 for at least 3 years of study. Students with a GPA just below 2.0 may be still considered for admission on a case-by-case basis. Self-reported information is accepted for most programs but an official transcript will be required if you are admitted to Roosevelt University.
If you took dual enrollment classes at your local community college as part of your high school diploma, you will need to submit transcripts from your community college in addition to your high school transcripts.
Roosevelt is test-optional. If you have taken the ACT or SAT we encourage you to send your scores, though these are not required for admission.
