Radiologic Technology Admission Policies

RADIOLOGIC TECHNOLOGY ADMISSION POLICIES (In addition to MCLA Admission Standards):

Students seeking admittance to the MCLA Radiologic Technology program will follow one of two paths:

  • First year students declaring as a Radiologic Technology Major
  • Matriculated and transfer students who meet the following criteria for the Radiologic Technology Major admittance

Minimum acceptance requirements include:

  • Overall GPA of 2.85 or higher
  • BIOL 150 Introduction to Biology I: Cells C+
  • BIOL 342 Anatomy and Physiology I C+
  • BIOL 343 Anatomy and Physiology II C+
  • HLTH 110 Introduction to Healthcare C+
  • HLTH 105 Medical Terminology C+
  • MATH 150 Precalculus C

Highly qualified candidates who have not taken one of the above courses by the end of their second year may be permitted to do so at a future time with the approval of the program director.

Progression to BS in Radiologic Technology Major:

Prior to final acceptance, students must successfully complete the following courses with applicable grades or higher to be eligible for consideration for the concentration in radiology major. Acceptance into the major is limited, with chances increased by earning grades higher than the minimum in these courses:

  • Precalculus C 
  • Anatomy and Physiology I C+
  • Introduction to Healthcare C+
  • HLTH 300 / CCAP 300 Ethical Issues in Health Care C

Students will be notified with a conditional letter upon conclusion of the review process conducted by the Radiologic Technology Admissions Committee. Final acceptance into the major takes place at the completion of the spring semester after final grades. MCLA matriculated students applying to this program will be considered before transfer students.  

The final decision rests with the Radiologic Technology Admissions Committee. Alternate programs are offered to those students who do not meet the specific requirements for the Radiologic Technology program.
