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 50 semester
hours (60 hours preferred) 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 intense and admission is not guaranteed.
Therefore, students should also plan for a college major.
