At the end of the junior year, students will be asked to make a choice on how they wish to
complete the degree.
There are three tracks from which to choose to complete the senior year:
Track 1 General Radiography plus one advanced imaging modality (Vascular
Imaging, CT, MRI, Mammography)
Track 2 Ultrasound only
Track 3 Radiation Therapy only
In addition to one of the modalities in Track 1, students may choose to add studies
in Radiology Administration.
Students may also choose to complete the senior year as described for Track 1, and then
later proceed with Radiology Administration, Radiation Therapy or Ultrasound.

*The number of required hours will be influenced by various factors.
o Example A: 53 hours required if student is exempt from EH 101 based on ACT score, passes the
CIS 010 Proficiency Exam, and does not need general elective.
o Example B: 63 hours required if student must take EH 101, fails CIS 010 Proficiency Exam twice and
therefore has to take CIS 150, takes PH 114 rather than PH 104, and needs general elective.
