A Bachelor of Science in Radiologic Sciences with a radiation therapy concentration prepares students for careers as radiation therapists, focusing on cancer treatment and disease management through radiation. The curriculum includes essential subjects like oncology, radiation physics, dosimetry, patient care, and treatment strategy development. Students master the use of cutting-edge radiation therapy technology, administer accurate radiation treatments, and work alongside oncologists to create and execute treatment protocols. The program blends classroom learning with clinical practice, equipping students with hands-on experience in medical environments. Upon graduation, students are ready to deliver empathetic patient care and play a vital role in cancer treatment using radiation therapy.

During the first year of the professional component (junior year - summer semester), students choose one of three specialization paths: (1) advanced imaging techniques such as CT, MRI, vascular, or mammography, (2) ultrasound, or (3) radiation therapy. Please note that enrollment in specific modalities depends on clinical rotation site availability. As a result, students will need to prioritize their top three track and modality preferences.
