Professional Curriculum

RA students are required to complete a minimum of 40 SC for the program. Geriatric Imaging (RIS 4281), or its equivalent, is a prerequisite course from the undergraduate professional curriculum. Students who have not completed RIS 4281 or its equivalent prior to being accepted into the RA program must complete the graduate level Geriatric Imaging course (MIS 5281) as part of the R.A. degree plan.  Other recommended, but not required, undergraduate courses are Advanced Patient Care (RIS 4382), Current Issues in Health Care (RIS 4291), Managerial Leadership (RIS 4398), and Research in Radiologic Sciences (RIS 4399).

The program is designed to be completed in five consecutive semesters on a full time basis. A flexible degree plan starting in any semester and extending the program up to a maximum of nine semesters may be arranged, resources permitting; however, the five required clinical internship courses must be completed consecutively.
