As a radiation therapy major with a Bachelor’s degree, you’ll have a distinct advantage over your peers with only a certification or an associate degree in the field. Your solid foundation in the sciences will support your understanding of this specialized method of treating cancer and other conditions.
Your humanities courses will foster your ability to communicate effectively with other health care providers and patients. You’ll spend your first three years on North Central’s campus, completing your liberal arts courses and prerequisites in chemistry, biology, physics and math. During your fourth year after acceptance into the program you’ll take on a clinical-based internship at the School of Radiation Therapy at Chicago’s Northwestern Memorial Hospital and earn a degree in radiation therapy from North Central College
