- 1
BIO 101–BIO 102 are required courses for the Radiologic Sciences program and may be used to meet the university core sciences requirement.
- 2
Initial placement in the English and mathematics courses is determined by placement examination and an evaluation of high school units presented. The minimum mathematics requirement is MA 275 or its equivalent.
- 3
Associated lab is required for both Chemistry and Physics. CHE 110 or PHY 110 with lab are acceptable to fulfill the requirement. Students may take the lab in the fall or spring of their first year.
- 4
If taking Chemistry or Physics in the spring, this UC elective should be taken in the fall semester.
All radiologic sciences course requirements must be completed in the appropriate semester as indicated above.
Completion of the above curriculum will meet requirements for graduation.
