Professonal Studies
(Bachelor of Science Degree)
The Bachelor of Science in Professional Studies degree provides a pathway toward a baccalaureate degree for graduates of associate degree programs in Radiologic Technology and other allied health and professional areas of study who do not intend to seek a baccalaureate and/or graduate degree in the discipline in which they have received an associate degree. The degree does not meet professional practice requirements set by state agencies or national professional accrediting bodies for which a baccalaureate degree in an allied health or professional discipline is required to meet licensure and/or employment requirements for professional practice. The degree will meet the pending bachelor degree requirement for supervision of radiologic technologists.
The curriculum includes all courses in the General Core providing a firm grounding in the liberal arts. In order to prepare students for management, students take courses that will provide the fundamentals of business principles and the opportunity for advanced study in management. Students will also take minimum of nine credits of related electives. Graduates of other programs may use science, information technology or management courses to fulfill related electives.
Transfer credits
Transfer students may not apply more than 60 credits from an associate's degree toward the baccalaureate. Up to 35 credits of courses from the associate's degree major may be applied toward the baccalaureate degree as electives. The academic records of graduates from other institutions seeking admission to this program will be evaluated by the Registrar and Provost upon deposit to determine how courses in an associate's degree will apply and the course requirements remaining to complete the degree.
