Radiography / Bachelor of Science / 2 + 2 Program

Total Credit Hours:  140-147

Major Credit Hours: 97-98

New students are no longer being admitted to this program. Interested students are encouraged to pursue the new B.S. in Radiography starting in January, 2025 through the Lewis University, College of Nursing and Health Sciences. Existing Lewis students in the Radiography program may opt-in to the Fall 2024 catalog year requirements listed below.

Acceptance into any professional or graduate school is solely determined by the admission committee of that school. All faculty members have the right to decline a request to write a letter of recommendation for any student.

Radiography majors may take a Biology class only two times. If a student has not achieved a minimum grade of “C-” after the second attempt, the student may not repeat the class.

Students are required to shadow--observe a radiographer--for a day at Northwestern Memorial Hospital or show proof of such activity at another medical facility before applying to the program.
