Our curriculum is six semesters long, consisting of four traditional semesters and two summer sessions. Students participate in the didactic and clinical portions of the program simultaneously. Combined didactic and clinical hours total 40 hours per week.

We do not offer part-time or evening education. Students should expect to be in class or clinical rotations from 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Monday-Friday.

Detailed descriptions of junior- and senior-year courses are available in our Program Bulletin (pdf).

Prerequisites

Below is a list of general education coursework that must be completed at the post-secondary level as part of your pre-professional curriculum to be eligible to apply to the UW Health University Hospital School of Radiologic Technology. For each subject area, there are examples listed in the far right column of courses that would fulfill the prerequisite for that subject area. These are only examples, not an all-inclusive list of the courses which satisfy that requirement. These suggestions are offered to provide an example of the types of courses that address the stated objectives under each subject heading.

Please keep in mind that our university affiliates will have their own curriculum requirements during the pre-professional portion of the program. Those requirements are in addition to the list below.
