APPLYING

Applying to the Radiation Therapy program requires the following applications and materials.

Primary Application

Radiation therapy involves directing controlled radiation at diseased tissues to either cure or alleviate the disease. Radiation therapists play a vital role in patient care and need to be knowledgeable about the psychology of dealing with terminally ill patients and their families. As a radiation therapist you become an integral part of the patient's treatment team, and they rely on you for their care and comfort. Each day, you interact with the patient, assess their condition, and decide whether treatment is needed or should be postponed until the patient sees the physician. Ultimately, it's the radiation therapist who administers the radiation treatments.

The Department of Medical Imaging & Radiation Sciences offers a four-year baccalaureate degree with programs in Radiography, Nuclear Medicine, Radiation Therapy, and Sonography. Students may apply to the professional phase of the program, which is offered at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center in Oklahoma City, after completing 64 hours of general education, inclusive of the prerequisite courses.

Each of the four professional programs begins in the summer of every year and consists of 68 semester hours of sequenced and integrated didactic and clinical courses. Students will complete clinical assignments in selected hospital and clinic facilities located throughout the Oklahoma City metropolitan area. Program faculty determine student assignments to clinical rotation sites based upon each student’s abilities and clinical education needs.

  1. Review and follow the instructions for application to the College of Allied Health.
  2. Application Review:  Applicants who have fulfilled the admission requirements will be scheduled for an interview with the Medical Imaging and Radiation Sciences Committee. Applicants are accepted into the program based on scores derived from these areas: Cumulative GPA, Science GPA, and written interview.
  3. Notification of Acceptance:  The applicant must accept or decline the position through their online application within 14 days of the application decision. Alternates may be admitted up to the first class for the summer semester if all positions have not been filled. If notification is not received by the third week of May, contact the department.
  4. Students accepted for admission are required to confirm their intention to enroll and attend by paying a non-refundable deposit on enrollment. The deposit is applied toward tuition and fees during the first term.
