Clinical and Diagnostic Sciences

Serving the sciences of clinical determination

Clinical and Diagnostic Sciences provides an experiential human-based education in biomedical, imaging, and clinical sciences and is built upon the foundations of biology and chemistry.  Using clinical perspectives to develop critical thinking, teamwork, and communication skills, students are prepared for health careers in Medical Laboratory Science, Histotechnology, Radiologic Technology, and Nuclear Medicine Technology or Pre-clinical professions for pursuit of advanced graduate education (MD, DO, PA, DDS, DVM, etc.). 

The Bachelor of Science in Radiologic Technology program is accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology (JRCERT).
