The bachelor's degree in Radiological Sciences at NDMU prepares effective health care leaders committed to providing the best care. Our program pairs the deep understanding of the sciences required for clinical education with the universal skills often sought by employers including critical thinking, strong communication, and ethical decision-making. Whether you are an entry-level student or a professional already working in the field, our program prepares well-rounded leaders equipped to care for diverse patient populations.
The Radiological Sciences Program at NDMU
Notre Dame offers two ways to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Radiological Sciences:
- Traditional full-time program through the Undergraduate Studies
- Part-time bachelor's degree completion program for radiological sciences professionals
Program Partners
Our partnerships provide a pathway for Undergraduate Studies students to complete the clinical training requirements pending successful application.
We also offer as a smooth transfer process for working adult learners completing a bachelor's degree.
Admissions Information
Admission to clinical certification programs is highly competitive and acceptance can not be guaranteed. It is important to thoroughly understand the admissions criteria for your clinical program of interest and regularly confer with the program coordinator as you prepare for clinical study.
Undergraduate Students
How It Works
- Complete all requisite general education, mathematics, and science courses at Notre Dame.
- Complete academic courses in aa concentration of Business, Spanish, Biochemistry or Physics.
- Apply to a full time clinical program with one of our program partners in the fall semester prior to the start of the program.
- Complete all requirements of the clinical certification program.
- Pass the national registry exam to become a licensed medical imaging technologist.
Sample Program of Study
This is a sample program of study for radiological sciences majors in the Undergraduate Studies prior to clinical training (required for Radiography, recommended for all modalities). Students should select courses with the assistance of the program coordinator.
