radiology and imaging sciences

Undergraduate Degrees

Undergraduate students have the opportunity to enter the field of radiology through three unique bachelor and associate degree programs at IU School of Medicine. Part of the Health Professions Programs, students can train in radiography, nuclear medicine technology or medical imaging technology. The programs teach students to communicate effectively and think critically amid several radiology procedures and tests, enabling a capacity to thrive in clinical and professional settings for years to come.
