ADMISSION General Information
Students accepted into the program must complete the school's and the following programmatic admission requirements prior to the first day of classes. Admission to the professional program is competitive; therefore, completion of the prerequisites does not guarantee admission to the program.
Criteria Used for Selection of Class Admission to the associate degree program is based upon the applicant's academic background and a personal interview.
Class Size 40 each June (beginning of Summer Session II).
Specific Requirements
In addition to the School of Allied Health Sciences admission policies and requirements found at the beginning of the bulletin, the following apply to the Radiography Program.
Application Deadline December 1 of the year prior to anticipated entry in the program.
Total Number of Prerequisite Credit Hours Graduates of approved high schools or college students who are interested in an allied health sciences profession are eligible to apply for admission to the Radiography Program.
Minimum Qualifications Applic<Jnts must meet minimum academic requirements to be considered for admission to the Radiologic Technology option. These minimum
requirements may be completed in high school or through college course work. Refer to the minimum criteria identified below.
Applicants With High School Background or General Educational Development (GED) Certificate All applicants applying directly from high school must meet all of the standard criteria and be eligible for regular admission to lUPUI. Those not meeting the standard criteria in one or more areas may substitute the corresponding alternate criteria.
Standard Criteria
1. Completion of a college preparatory high school curriculum in the following areas:
8 semesters of English
4 semesters of laboratory science 4 semesters of mathematics
(algebra, geometry, etc.) 10 semesters of additional
academic courses 2. Scholastic Aptitude Test
Minimum scores: 400 Verbal and 400 Math or high school rank in the upper 30 percent.
77 3. Minimum cumulative grade point average
of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale.
4. Minimum cumulative math/science grade point average of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale.
5. An admission math placement score necessary to be admitted to MATH 111 (IUPUI course) or higher.
6. Applicants with a General Educational Development (GED) certificate will not be considered for direct admission and must seek admission using alternate criteria.
Alternate Criteria
1. Completion of one semester as a full-time college student (12 credit hours) or completion of 18 total credit hours as a part- time student. If the high school preparation lacks the minimum number of semesters in one or more areas, the above credit hours must include course work in that area.
2. Completion of one semester as a full-time college student (12 credit hours) or completion of 18 total credit hours as a part- time student. A 2.3 cumulative grade point average must be achieved.
3. Completion of one semester as a full-time college student (12 credit hours) or completion of 18 total credit hours as a part- time student. A 2.3 cumulative grade point average must be achieved.
4. Completion of at least 4 college credit hours of course work in math or science, and a cumulative math/science grade point average of 2.0 on a 4.0 scale for all math/science course work.
5. Completion of remedial math courses that would prepare the student for entry into MATH 111 (IUPUI course).
6. Completion of one semester as a full-time college student (12 credit hours) or completion of 18 total credit hours as a part- time student. Completion of one college math course and one college science course.
The overall grade point average must be 2.3 on a 4.0 scale, and a C grade must be attained in the science and math courses.
Note: The science and math courses do not need to be a part of the 12-credit semester.
Applicants with College Background These criteria are to be used by all applicants with a college background even though they qualify by high school record.
Criteria
1. Meet minimum high school qualifications or alternate criteria.
2. Have a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.3 on a 4.0 scale for all courses attempted in a college setting. If more than one college has been attended, a combined cumulative grade point average will be determined and must be 2.3. These averages
must be achieved before an interview will be scheduled.
3. Have a science/math cumulative grade point average of 2.0 on a 4.0 scale if any of these courses have been taken.
All of the above represent minimum criteria that will qualify the applicant for completion of the admission process. With the exception of the grade point averages, applicants may be in the process of meeting the criteria when they apply and will be considered, provided the minimum criteria can be met before the first enrollment of the class to which application is being made.
Interview Each qualified applicant must participate in an interview. Interviews are scheduled during February.
Technical Requirements See School of Allied Health Sciences technical standards.
Indiana Residents Preference Policy See School of Allied Health Sciences policy.
Volunteer Experience The Admissions Committee urges all interested applicants to spend time observing in a radiology
department. If you cannot arrange to do so at a local hospital by calling the chief technologist and indicating your desire to learn more about the field, a time can be scheduled in one of the Medical Center hospital departments.
CURRICULUM Prerequisites
There are no college prerequisites.
Professional Program
Courses in the professional program are sequential and, therefore, must be taken in the order specified by the program faculty. The code (G) indicates a course that meets the division's general-education requirements.
