All students must complete the
BDTS student profile and submit a completed copy to the advising office. Students should provide a completed BDTS student profile copy to the individuals for whom they are requesting recommendations. Students seeking internships in either the MLS or NMT specializations must also complete the internship site preference list.
It is recommended that students have a 3.00 overall GPA for application to any of the six specializations. Students with lower grade point averages may be admitted provisionally pending satisfactory completion of appropriate fall semester, junior-year course work.
Acceptance into the internship programs is competitive and is based on grade point average, personal interview and letters of recommendation. The application process for each of the specializations is unique. Students are advised to carefully read about their chosen specialization.
Deadlines
To be accepted into a clinical specialization internship, students must submit a formal application for each program for which they seek consideration.
- Applications for the cytotechnology, histotechnology, and radiation therapy internship programs are processed in the winter semester of the sophomore year (or following completion of the biomedical diagnostic and therapeutic sciences core curriculum).
- Application for nuclear medicine internships are processed during the winter semester of the junior year
- Application for the MLS internships are processed during the summer prior to the senior year.
- Application to the Radiologic Technology program accepts two classes each year. Admission to the July class is typically in February, and admission for the January class is in August (approximately 5 months prior to the start of each class).
