Curriculum
The field of Radiation Therapy presents the professional with the unique opportunity to blend the knowledge of mathematics, medical science, psychology, and critical thinking while providing hands-on patient care.
This intensive two-year program is composed of a didactic phase followed by directed clinical training at affiliated hospitals and cancer centers. During the didactic phase, formal lectures cover human anatomy, physiology, radiation therapy physics, radiation oncology, pathology, radiation biology, treatment planning, medical dosimetry, quality assurance and patient care.
Bachelor of Science in Radiation Therapy
Students entering the two-year track at the junior level take 80 semester credit hours towards their degree.
The semester-by-semester schedule includes all courses needed to graduate, but the sequence is subject to change.
