While there are no formal prerequisite courses for admission to the Radiology Program, the large number of applicants usually means that only those who complete the First Semester courses listed below and have completed the TEAS test will be considered for acceptance. Prospective students should also be aware that the competitive nature of the admissions process makes it unlikely individuals with grade point averages less than 3.0 (“B”) to be accepted (GPA is based on the courses list on this page). |
