Radiation Therapy
Experiences in Radiation Therapy

The bachelor of science degree with major in radiation therapy uses a progressive curriculum and delivery methods which complement current industry technology and practices. Facilities and resources include treatment planning workstations and electronic medical record and treatment delivery verification software systems. Students acquire computerized hands-on experience planning a treatment, coding, billing, and recording treatments using the same complex network systems used with patients. Learning is achieved via a mix of clinical experience, face to face lectures, simulation labs, computer lab practice, as well as on-line education. Research is conducted via a capstone course with submission of reviewed and finalized manuscripts to our professional organization. Students may seek internship opportunities through university student services and professional organizations. Students have the option to participate in Education Abroad or Study in America for global and cultural enrichment. Membership in numerous campus organizations is also available for developing peer networks.
