Radiation therapists combat cancer and various illnesses by using advanced technology to deliver precise radiation treatments. Roosevelt University's program teaches students tumor mapping techniques and dosage calculation methods. Distinct from nursing, medicine, and pharmacy, these healthcare roles encompass diagnostic, technical, therapeutic, and patient care services essential to medical teams and those receiving treatment. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, job prospects for certified professionals range from favorable to outstanding. Bachelor's degree options cover specialties like Diagnostic Medical Sonography, Histotechnology, Medical Technology, Nuclear Medicine Technology, Radiation Therapy Technology, and Radiography. Each program combines Roosevelt University coursework with hands-on clinical experience at partner facilities. Admission to clinical training requires a separate application process with no guaranteed acceptance.

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.
