Bachelor of Science in Radiologic Sciences
Our carefully-designed Radiologic Sciences curriculum meets industry and accreditation standards. Students gain a wealth of experience and information via the classroom, labs, research, and hands-on learning. Our future professionals are taught how to operate, calibrate, and use this technology for diagnostics, identification, and even for formulating treatment plans.
Bachelor's Degree Specializations
We offer five different specializations to meet the career objectives of our students. Those majoring in the Radiologic Sciences Bachelor of Science (B.S.) program may choose among the following paths:
Associate's Degree
Students in the Radiation Therapy Technology, and Magnetic Resonance Imaging/Computed Tomography, and Cardiac-Interventional Specialization will receive the Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree upon successful completion of their junior year.
Online Option
The Radiologic Sciences Management/Education and Cardiac Interventional Radiography specializations can be completed from anywhere, as classes are available online. This online program was designed for busy professionals and those without the flexibility to travel to the campus for classes.
Clinical Experience
One of the most beneficial parts of our program is the clinical experience. SIU boasts state-of-the-art clinical labs where students can put their knowledge and skills into practice. Clinical internships are also part of the curriculum as well as opportunities for hands-on experience in hospitals and clinics in the region.
