(i) Introduction

This four-year degree program requires students to obtain approximately half their academic credits at the University of Prince Edward Island and the Queen Elizabeth Hospital. Admission is by competition, following the process set out below, after the completion of a required set of courses in at least one year of university studies. A limited number of students are admitted each year.

(ii) Admission Requirements

Minimum Course Requirements:

• Ten three-semester hour courses or equivalent are required. For students who have completed a total of 20 three-semester-hour courses or less, these must include (required UPEI course numbers in brackets).
• Two courses in introductory Biology (Bio. 131/132)
• Two courses in introductory Physics (Phy. 111/112 or 121/122)
• Two courses in introductory Chemistry (Chem. 111/112)
• One course in Mathematics (Math 112) alternatively, (Math 151/152)
• IT 111 - Introduction to Microcomputers
• Global Issues 151 - Critical Thinking and Writing (first time, first entry students) or English composition or equivalent
• One free elective 

Students who have completed more than 20 three-semester hour courses may, with the permission of the Dean, be allowed to enter the program without having completed the full suite of required courses listed above. Nevertheless, courses not done prior to admission must be completed as a program requirement before graduation. All required courses must have a passing grade identified by letter or numerical grade. Biology, Physics, and Chemistry courses will normally have a laboratory component. Details of course content may be required for any course proposed for admission purposes.

Students are expected to complete a degree at UPEI within a 10 year period (See Academic Regulation #2)

Applicants who have completed any of the pre-requisite first year courses seven years prior to the anticipated start of their Radiography program should contact the coordinator of the Radiography program or the Dean of Science.
