BS Radiological Sciences
The Bachelor of Science in Radiological Sciences is designed for those individuals seeking a broad foundation within the advanced Imaging Sciences and serves as a sophisticated general undergraduate education in the profession. The ASRT (American Society of Radiologic Technologists) recognizes the baccalaureate degree as the professional level of radiologic science education. With the exponential growth in today's health care market, educational expertise in technological advances is essential for professional advancement and competitiveness. This undergraduate degree emphasizes leadership and organizational behavior, managerial skills, introduction of applied statistics, advanced patient care, PACS (digital formatting and storage of medical images), legal aspects of health care, sectional anatomy, health science research, and computed tomography. Typically, a bachelor's degree is required for entry-level management positions at the departmental level within health care organizations or faculty positions in associate degree programs. Imaging department managers are often responsible for maintaining multi-million dollar facilities, equipment and a significant number of employees. Imaging Science educators are responsible for administering educational programs, developing operational budgets, instruction, and maintaining program integrity and accreditation. To make effective decisions, leaders in imaging need to be open to different opinions, analyze contradictory information, understand finance and information systems, and interpret data. Motivating others to implement their decisions requires strong leadership abilities. Tact, diplomacy, flexibility, and communication skills are also essential. The degree programs facilitate matriculation of diploma or associate degree imaging professionals to the bachelor's level. |
