Offered by Health Science Programs:

Pre-Radiologic Technology

The following 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:
BIOL 325, Medical Terminology - 1 hour
CHEM 160GS, General Chemistry - 3 hours (see prerequisites)
CHEM 160LGS, General Chemistry Laboratory - 1 hour
ENG 101GS, Expository Writing I - 3 hours (Prereq: ENG 100A or English ACT score of 15 or above)
ENG 102GS, Expository Writing II - 3 hours (Prereq: ENG 101GS* or ACT English score of 30 or above)
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, Biology II - 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 15 hours of elective courses:
