Medical Dosimetry

Prerequisite coursework

All prerequisite (prereq) courses must be completed prior to the program's application deadline; without exception. Completing courses during the spring or summer semester before intending to start the program is not acceptable. Comparable courses from regionally accredited institutions are acceptable. No prerequisite coursework with a grade below C will be accepted.

The program does not have a "statute of limitations" on prerequisite courses. Applicants will be considered to have met the prerequisites even if they were taken many years ago, however, with the program's academic rigor the applicant's current academic aptitude is considered. One means to demonstrate current academic aptitude is the applicant's performance in courses taken over the past four years. Thus, it may be advantageous to have completed some courses, potentially including prerequisites in the past four years.
