Major Information
- Students are required to know and track their degree requirements for graduation or for entrance to a professional school.
- In addition to the Core General Education requirements, the College of Science requires 3 hours of Calculus, and 40 hours of upper level credit.
- Coursework listed as “elective” may vary for each student. Students are encouraged to use elective hours toward a minor or toward prerequisites.
- Students are strongly encouraged to select courses that meet two or more Core or College requirements. For example, a writing intensive literature course could satisfy the Core II humanities requirement as well as the university writing intensive requirement.
- Course offerings and course attributes are subject to change each semester. Please consult each semester’s schedule of courses for availability and attributes.
- Math is based on an ACT Mathematics score of 27 or higher. Students with an ACT Mathematics score less than 27 will be placed in the appropriate prerequisite mathematics and science courses.
- In order to graduate, students must maintain a 2.00 Overall GPA and receive a grade of C or better in each course required for the major.
Semester Plan
St. Mary’s School of Medical Imaging (SOMI) is a hospital-based program, partnered with Marshall University to offer a Bachelor of Science in Medical Imaging. The program curriculum is designed to prepare students to practice Medical Imaging and introduce students to related specialized imaging modalities. The program can be completed in four years. Credentialed Radiographers may enter the professional portion of the program (fourth year) and also obtain the degree.
