Biology Nuclear Medicine Technology Major (62 credits):<br />
The nuclear medicine technology program is a four-year course <strong>of</strong> instruction designed to provide a<br />
bachelor <strong>of</strong> arts degree with a major in biology nuclear medicine technology.<br />
<strong>Saint</strong> Mary’s <strong>University</strong> has a fully accredited unified program in nuclear medicine technology in<br />
conjunction with NorthShore <strong>University</strong> HealthSystem with clinical facilities at Evanston Hospital in<br />
Evanston, IL, Glenbrook Hospital in Glenview, IL, and Highland Park Hospital in Highland Park, IL. This<br />
accreditation is granted by the Joint Review Committee on Educational Programs in Nuclear Medicine<br />
Technology, 2000 W. Danforth Rd., Ste 130 #203, Edmond, OK 73003. A maximum <strong>of</strong> eight students<br />
yearly are selected to enter this program. Applicants to <strong>Saint</strong> Mary’s nuclear medicine technology<br />
program are not selected based on GPA alone, but SMU cumulative and SMU major grade point<br />
averages must be at least 2.500. <strong>Saint</strong> Mary’s <strong>University</strong> is also affiliated with the nuclear medicine<br />
technology programs at the Mayo School <strong>of</strong> Health Sciences in Rochester, MN and the Veterans<br />
Administration Hospital in Hines, IL.<br />
Prior to a clinical year <strong>of</strong> internship, the student must complete three years <strong>of</strong> course work (90 credits)<br />
at <strong>Saint</strong> Mary’s <strong>University</strong>, including the general education requirements. Of these 90 credits, 30<br />
credits must be upper-division credits. Acceptance to the clinical program at NorthShore <strong>University</strong><br />
HealthSystem, Mayo, or the Veterans Administration Hospital is contingent upon the student’s academic<br />
achievement. Upon successful completion <strong>of</strong> the clinical program, the student receives a certificate<br />
in nuclear medicine technology and is eligible to take the certification exam <strong>of</strong> the Nuclear Medicine<br />
