Admission Requirements

• Submit official college transcripts for all coursework not completed at the University of South Alabama by the application deadline. Transcripts are not required if the coursework has already been transferred to USA. Applicants must have a minimum GPA of 2.0 ("C" average) on previously completed college-level courses as well as at least a "C" in all math and sciences courses. Applicants’ overall GPA (USA and transfer GPA, if applicable) will be used for admissions purposes.
• Submit the Online RT to BSRS Application Form to the dept by the application deadline. The completed application form may be mailed OR faxed to the Dept. of Radiologic Sciences Admissions Committee (see below for address and fax number).

Students must complete all General Education requirements from the pre-professional component of the program.
Note: General education courses required for a B.S. degree do not have to be completed prior to admission, however, online availability for general education courses will vary each semester and starting the online B.S. in Radiologic Sciences prior to completing general education courses may delay your estimated graduation term. Any outstanding pre-professional general education course requirements must be completed prior to the bachelor’s degree being awarded.

Students must complete a 6 credit hour sequence either in literature (Area II – EH 215 & EH 216, EH 225 & EH 226, or EH 235 & EH 236) or history (Area IV – HY 101 & HY 102 or HY 135 & HY 136)

All undergraduates must complete two designated writing credit (W) courses, at least one of which must be in the student's major or minor.

*Factors that influence required hours include 1) Physics course taken, 2) being exempt from EH 101 based on ACT, 3) whether or not AHP 101 was taken, 4) receiving credit by examination, and 5) if general elective needed to bring total up.

These professional Radiologic Sciences courses are only offered once per academic year.

(W) Courses will satisfy the University's Writing Requirement.

USA’s Registrar’s Office has created the Transfer Equivalency Tables which allow students to quickly access an unofficial evaluation of how previous credits will be counted at South. If your institution is not listed, please email a PDF of your unofficial transcript to the Registrar’s Office at records@southalabama.edu. Please allow 3-5 business days for the unofficial evaluation to be completed.

Students from area community colleges may be eligible to participate in South’s Pathway USA program which supports a smooth transition for students transferring to South who have earned an Associate in Arts or Associate in Science degree from one of our participating schools.
