 Return to: Programs of Study
This major is a four-year course of study leading to a Bachelor of Science degree in Nuclear Medicine Technology. The degree is structured as a 3-plus-one program. The first three years are conducted at WLC, where general education and pre-professional requirements are completed. The last year is completed via an accredited, hospital-based program through Froedtert. (Please note: completion of the course work at WLC does not guarantee admission into the clinical training program. The application process is competitive.)
To declare a Nuclear Medicine Technology Major:
Major credit requirements:
- Completion of core courses outlined below, plus 30 additional credits from a clinical training placement
- At least 15 credits in residence of 300 level or above courses (will be completed via clinical training placements)
- Exit cumulative GPA of 2.5 in major (although a > 3.0 GPA is recommended for internship competitiveness)
To following prerequisites must be completed with a mininum of a ‘“C” or better; 3.0 or higher GPA is recomended.
- CHE 161/168 General Chemistry 1 with Lab
- COM 101 Introduction to Communication
- ENG 101 Writing and Rhetoric
- BIO 223 Medical Terminology or BIO 323 Applied Medical Terminology
- BIO 225 Human Anatomy & Physiology 1
- BIO 235 Sectional Anatomy
- BIO 255 Human Anatomy & Physiology 2
- MAT 117 Elementary Statistics
- MAT 118 A Modeling Approach to College Algebra (or higher)
- NMT 101 Foundations of Radiation Science
- PHY 151 General Physics 1, PHY 152 General Physics 2 or PHY 203 Introduction to Modern Physics
- Note: of these three physics options, PHY 203 is highly recommended since it contains the most information about radioactive decay and atomic theory. This course does have a calculus prerequisite, but the department is willing to accommodate NMT students who discuss this with them before registration.
- Additional highly recommended courses:
- NUR 405 Issues and Ethics in Healthcare
- CHE 210 Quantitative Analysis
- BCH 350 Biochemistry
Complete general education and degree requirements may be found here.
- Those who are accepted into the Nuclear Medicine Technology program are only required to complete two theology courses to meet the general education theology requirement
- Students who are not admitted into a Nuclear Medicine Technology program at a partner hospital will need to declare another major (work with your advisor) and complete all of the general education requirements, including all four theology courses, to graduate with a bachelor’s degree from WLC.
Sample Plan: NMT - Froedtert

Required Clinical Experiences
Campus Residency Statement
Students are exempt from the residency requirement during their clinical internship (years 3 & 4) for the Radiologic Technology & Diagnostic Medical Sonography majors | (year 4) for the Nuclear Medicine Technology. If students wish to live on campus during their clinical internship, they may apply through the Director of Residence Life. Students who choose to live off-campus during their clinical internship are encouraged to continue participation in a wide range of campus events (athletic competitions, chapel services, guest lecture series, musical concerts, plays, and other social events). However, they will not be eligible to participate in intercollegiate sports due to scheduling conflicts nor will they have access to on campus health services or IT support as they will no longer be charged student support or health fees. For the vast majority of students, tuition and scholarships will remain unchanged during clinical internship training; however, students that receive tuition remission (i.e. children of faculty/staff at WLC) will be asked to pay a minimum of $7,500 per year tuition. |
