BS in Radiological Sciences

While students can get started working as an ultrasound tech with an associate’s degree or even just on-the-job training, many employers prefer students who have at least a bachelor’s degree. Getting a Bachelor of Science (BS) in Radiological Sciences can not only help students get a job initially, but it can also help them earn a promotion to work in a managerial or administrative role in their field.

Requirements for Earning a BS in Radiological Sciences

Earning a BS in radiological sciences typically takes about four years, but this can vary depending on how many credit hours students complete every semester. For those who already have a job as an ultrasound tech or in a related field such as medical assistant or laboratory technician, part-time programs, especially those offered online, provide a flexible option for students.

Every BS in radiologic sciences program is slightly different, but they all help students achieve an education in using the technologies involved in radiology and helping doctors diagnose and treat patients. This degree also covers topics relating to management and administration, in order to prepare students for leadership roles in the field. Many programs allow students to choose elective courses related to their specific radiological science area of interest.

A student’s education will likely include:

  • Classroom learning (online or campus)
  • Training on different equipment
  • Clinical hours, where they get a chance to participate in hands-on learning experiences with real patients and real equipment

Further Information About Radiological Sciences
