How to Apply

Step 1: Apply to WSU

Apply for admission to WSU

Step 2: Review the Prerequisites

Applicants must be ARRT certified, or in the final semester of earning their certification, to apply.
If you are not ARRT certified, you should apply to our associate's program.
The sonography program prerequisites are also satisfied by the following:
- AAS or AS in Nursing or Respiratory Therapy.
  or
- A previous bachelor's of science (BS) degree in a medically-related major.
In addition to your AAS in radiography, it is highly suggested that you also complete an AA or AS before starting a program. While not required for admission into a Radiologic Sciences program, a previous AA, AS, or bachelor's degree will fulfill Weber State University's general education requirements for a bachelor's degree.

Step 3: Review the Deadline and Program Options

There is no deadline for the non-clinical Advanced Radiologic Sciences program.

Campus Programs

If you are wanting to be assigned a clinical site in Utah, you should submit the CAMPUS application.

All Campus programs have an application deadline of January 10th. Campus student selection typically occurs during the last week of March.

Regional Programs

If you have a clinical site outside of Utah, you should submit the REGIONAL application.

All Regional programs have an application deadline of May 1st.

REGIONAL APPLICANTS: you should have a clinical site ready BEFORE you apply. Regional applications without a clinical site will not be accepted. Due to California state law, we cannot accept Regional applicants who have clinical sites in California.

(Regional applicants are strongly encouraged to submit their application as early as possible. Waiting until the May 1st deadline may result in a delay in your application review.)

*Radiation Therapy applications submitted after May 1 will be considered on an individual basis by Dr. Casey Neville. (Caseyneville@weber.edu or 801.626.6068 for questions.)

If applying for programs through Independent Study, please contact the Independent Study Manager, Pamela Berg at Pberg@weber.edu, for more information regarding application and deadline.

Out-of-state applicants interested in the non-clinical Advanced Radiologic Sciences Program should consider our Independent Study option.

Selection Process

A committee comprised of WSU faculty and representatives from health care facilities affiliated with the university determines who is accepted to our program. Selection is based on a point system; you receive points based on factors including grade point average, references (forms included with the application) and an interview. Students who earn the most points, adhering to the criteria, will be accepted. The number of students accepted is determined by the number of students our affiliated health care facilities are able to accommodate for clinical hours.

If you are not initially accepted, you may be accepted as an alternate if another student decides not to enter the program.

If you are accepted to more than one specialty program, you may select the program you wish to pursue. You may not pursue multiple programs consecutively.

The selection of students adheres to all state and federal laws and university policies concerning discrimination and fairness in the selection process. WSU strives to include a diversity of cultures and perspectives, as it enriches the learning environment for all students.
