- Certification: ARRT Nuclear Medicine Technologist ARRT-RT (N) or NMTCB-CNMT or NJ-LNMT (copy of original certificate and current renewal card)
- How Students Earn Credit in the Area of Study: The certification covers almost all of the credits required in the area of study.A second certification (radiography, radiation therapy or radiation protection) would complete the area of study, except for the capstone course APS-401 Current Trends and Applications.
Note: Courses listed in the Area of Study are offered as a guide. Other courses may also be considered appropriate for the program. The inclusion of similar courses must be reviewed by the Evaluation team. Students must submit their program plan for review to ensure that course selection is appropriate for the degree.
