The Allied Health Technology concentration is designed for students who expect to enter a professional school for diagnostic medical sonography, nuclear medicine technology, or radiation therapy technology after completing an appropriate pre-professional curriculum.

This concentration leads to an MTSU degree through completion of 120 credit hours at MTSU, or completion of at least 90 course hours, acceptance into a professional school, and successful completion of the professional program (3+1). At least 36 credit hours of junior and senior (3000-4000 level) courses must be completed with an average grade of C (2.00 GPA) or better. With approval of the dean of the college, a student may complete 12 of the last 30 hours at another college or university or by CLEP. For students completing a 3+1 program, a minimum of 21 semester hours of junior and senior (3000-4000 level) courses must be completed at MTSU.

Admission to the MTSU pre-professional program does not assure admission to a professional program. Selection for admission is competitive and is made by the admissions committee of the respective program according to its selection standards.

NOTE: A grade of C or better is required on all transfer credits accepted as part of a major or minor in the Department of Chemistry. Students must have a grade point average of at least 2.00 on courses counting toward a major or minor in any of the department’s programs.

3+1 students will earn the B.S. degree after completion of their professional program. Four-year students will need to complete an appropriate number of upper-division and elective credit to earn degree. See advisor for details.

NOTE:


Included in the electives will be the hours necessary for the completion of the required 36 upper-division hours for graduation requirements and the necessary hours to satisfy the 120-hour graduation requirement.

NOTE 1: A student who has a sufficiently high score on the ACT Mathematics test may begin with MATH 1910 . If the background in math is weak, MATH 1710  should be taken before MATH 1730 .

NOTE 2: A student who has had little or no high school chemistry or is not satisfied with his/her high school chemistry should first take CHEM 1010 /CHEM 1011  before taking CHEM 1110 /CHEM 1111 .
