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. The Bachelor of Science in Clinical and Diagnostic Sciences degree program offers specializations in Medical Laboratory Science, Histotechnology, Radiologic Technology, Nuclear Medicine Technology, Pre-clinical Professions, Pre-pharmacy Sciences, or Pre-Physician Assistant. Using clinical perspectives to develop critical thinking, teamwork, and communication skills, students are prepared for a variety of health careers or the pursuit of advanced graduate education (M.D., D.O., PA, Pharm.D., DDS, DVM, etc.).
The Bachelor of Science in Radiologic Technology program is accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology (JRCERT).
