Curriculum
This intensive two-year program is composed of a didactic phase followed by directed clinical training at affiliated hospitals and laboratories. During the didactic phase, formal lectures cover dose calculations, treatment design, and quality assurance. Treatment planning laboratory sessions complement the lecture series.
Bachelor of Science in Medical Dosimetry
Students entering the two-year track at the junior level take 70 semester credit hours towards their degree.
The semester-by-semester schedule includes all courses needed to graduate, but the sequence is subject to change.

Elective Courses
If a student has taken a required course as a prerequisite prior to entering the program, the student will not be required to repeat the course. However, the student must substitute the course with an Elective Course with equivalent credit hours in order to fulfill the minimum required SCH for graduation from the Medical Dosimetry program.
NOTE: Additional courses may be used as electives with the approval of the Program Director.
