Prerequisite Courses

PLEASE NOTE: International students who are F-1 visa holders are not eligible to complete this program. Please contact our Office of International Education for more information.

Age Restriction: State regulations prohibit Minors from getting occupational radiation exposure. For this reason, you must be 18 years old at the time that you begin the program.

All Applicants to the Radiologic Technology program are required to complete the following prerequisite courses. Each prerequisite course must be completed with a grade of 2.7 or higher.

Prerequisite courses must also meet the following requirements:

  • All courses must be from a regionally accredited college.
  • Each prerequisite course may be repeated up to a maximum of 2 times. If the BIOL&241 and BIOL&242 courses are repeated within a 3 year period, first and retake grades will be averaged.
  • For BIOL&241 and BIOL&242

Currently, we do not differentiate between online and in-person learning to meet Biology&241 and BIOL&242 program pre-requisites. We highly encourage students to participate in Anatomy and Biology courses that are presented in-person or in a hybrid format since we have found that students learn much better in these settings. Our requirement for BIOL&241 and BIOL&242 courses is that all exams be proctored regardless of the learning environment.


Please refer to the following resources to check your previous or future coursework from other nationally accredited College or University and find out if they meet the prerequisite requirements for the program:
