Pre-Radiologic Technology
The following one-two year pre-professional program is based on the requirements for
admission to the Division of Radiation Science Technology Education at the University of
Nebraska Medical Center, Omaha, Nebraska. A minimum 48 semester hours of pre-radiologic
technology courses must be completed. The Radiologic Technology Program at UNMC is a
two-year (72 credit hour) program. Competition for a place in this clinical program is
keen and admission is not guaranteed. Therefore, students should also plan for a college
major.
- Take all of the following:
- CHEM 160GS, General Chemistry - 3 hours (see prerequisites)
- CHEM 160LGS, General Chemistry Laboratory - 1
hour
- CSIS 130, Introduction to Computer Science - 3
hours
- ENG 101GS, Expository Writing I - 3 hours
- ENG 102GS, Expository Writing II - 3 hours
- MATH 102*, College Algebra - 3 hours
- PHYS 205GS, General Physics - 5 hours
- SPCH 100GS, Fundamentals of Speech Communication
- 3 hours
- STAT 241, Elementary Statistics - 3 hours
*Students with sufficient preparation may enter the mathematics program at MATH 123.
- Take 4 hours of biology from:
- BIOL 103GS, General Biology - 4 hours
- BIOL 107GS, General Zoology - 4 hours
- BIOL 215GS, Human Physiology - 4 hours (Prereq:
A college Biology course)
BIOL 225, Anatomy and Physiology - 4 hours
(Prereq: CHEM 145 or CHEM 150 or CHEM 160; three years of high school science including
biology and a minimum score of 20 on the ACT or equivalent or a college science course)
(It is recommended that students taking BIOL 225
plan to also take BIOL 226 as part of their
elective hours.)
- Take 6 hours of elective courses in the humanities and social sciences:
- Appropriate options include courses in psychology, sociology, economics, history, political science,
philosophy, anthropology,
and art history.
- Take 12 hours of elective courses:
- Additional courses in the sciences are recommended. See your advisor.
Students should check with other specific schools of radiologic technology to which
they intend to apply to ensure that any other requirements are fulfilled.
