Undergraduate Course Catalog 2005-2006

RADIATION THERAPY/BACHELOR OF SCIENCE

Total Credit Hours: 139
Major Credit Hours: 96

A grade of C or better must be earned in a prerequisite course in order to advance to the next course in the sequence.

Radiation Therapy majors may take a Biology class only two times. If a student has not achieved a minimum of a C after the second attempt, the student may not repeat the class.

The Biology Department will award 3 hours of credit for our general education class 02-100 (Introduction to Biology) when students have received a score of 4 or 5 on AP tests. We do not award any credit for major classes based on AP scores.
