Exit Examinations: B.S.R.S Traditional and Special Options

Exit Examinations are given as part of each track’s Synthesis course. A score of 75% or greater on two exit examinations is required, in addition to meeting other course requirements in order for the student to pass the Synthesis course and graduate from the degree program. Program faculty reserve the right to administer additional attempts.

The exit exam requirements for sonography and cardiovascular interventional science students may differ from the other tracks since they qualify for registry exams prior to graduation. Details concerning the aforementioned are elaborated in specified sonography and cardiovascular interventional science course syllabi.

Admission Requirements: Traditional and Special Options

Application Period: November 15 through March 1

Late applications will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Qualified applicants that met the March 1 deadline will be granted priority over applications received after the initial deadline. Certain programs may continue to review applications after the deadline until the program’s capacity is met.

Admission to Georgia Southern University does not guarantee admission to the concentrations in Radiologic Sciences. The department has a separate formal admissions process in addition to the admission process for the University. Applicants are required to submit a formal application to the program of interest and transcripts of all college and technical school course work.

Please note this due date does NOT apply to the Bridge Program. You may apply to the Bridge Program at any time here.

Radiologic Sciences Minimum Admission Requirements

• Applicants must be accepted by Georgia Southern University.
• Applicants must apply and pay for the Allied Health Centralized Application Service (AHCAS) Application. Bridge students do not need to apply using this link.
• Complete the TEAS-AH exam and submit the results to the Department of Clinical Sciences, Radiologic Sciences, by March 1. Applicants may contact the Georgia Southern University Testing Services at 912-344-2582 or visit MCC 206 for more information or to schedule the exam.
• Cumulative GPA of 2.5 or higher for all college work. Applicants with less that a 2.5 may be considered under special circumstances.
• Special Options (second certification) applicants must provide proof of ARDMS, ARRT, or NMTCB certification.
• Students who are admitted to the program are strongly encouraged to complete remaining CORE during the summer semester prior to the start of the program. Failure to meet all core requirements prior to beginning the program may delay your graduation.
• Prior to the beginning of the program, the following must be successfully completed:
  • 50 semester hours of core degree requirements that include two college English composition courses and college algebra or higher.
  • Required lab sciences (significant preference for admission will be given to those applicants that have completed all of the five required sciences):
    • Cardiovascular interventional science - Must include Human Anatomy and Physiology I with lab and three additional lab sciences in the program of study.
    • Nuclear Medicine - Must include Human Anatomy and Physiology I with lab, Survey of Chemistry with lab or Introduction to Chemistry with lab, Physics with lab or Physical Environment with lab, and one additional lab science in the program of study.
    • Radiography - Must include Human Anatomy and Physiology I with lab and three additional lab sciences in the program of study.
    • Radiation Therapy - Must include Human Anatomy and Physiology I and II with labs, Physics with lab or Physical Environment with lab, and one additional lab science in the program of study.
    • Advanced Medical Sonography - Must include Human Anatomy and Physiology I and II with labs, Physics with lab or Physical Environment with lab, and one additional lab science in the program of study.

Applicants not meeting the criteria stated above may apply and will be considered under special circumstances at a later date.

Admission Requirements: Bridge Program

Admission to Georgia Southern University:

All transfer credits must be evaluated by the Undergraduate Office of Admissions and posted on the Georgia Southern transcript upon official acceptance to the University. 

Admission to the university does not guarantee admission to the Radiologic Sciences Bridge degree completion program. 

Meeting admission criteria does not constitute acceptance into the program.

1. Students must submit documentation of credentialing by  ARRT (R, T, N, CI), NMTCB (CNMT), CCI (RCIS), or ARDMS (RDMS).
2. Students must submit transcripts from all educational institutions for evaluation by the Undergraduate Office of Admissions upon official acceptance to the University.  

Progression Policy

A grade of “C” or better is required for each course in the major field of study. If a student earns a grade of less than “C” in any of the required courses in the major, the student will be placed on academic probation for the duration of the program and must repeat the course the next time the course is offered (typically the next year). This may result in the student joining a new cohort. Students may repeat a course in the major field of study only once. For a student on academic probation within the degree, if a second grade of less than “C” is earned in any of the required courses in the major, the student will be dismissed without the possibility of readmission to the degree for a period of five (5) years. 

Advisement

Undergraduate Academic Advisement at Georgia Southern is provided to all degree-seeking undergraduate students by professional advisors. Academic Advisors are located on all three Georgia Southern University campuses. Students are required to meet with their assigned Academic Advisor at least once a semester.
