Admission
General Information
Admission to the professional program is competitive; therefore, completion of the prerequisites does not guarantee admission to the program.
Criteria Used for Selection of Class Previous academic record, evidence of registration in radiography by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT), and availability of major clinical concentration (clinical tracks only).
Class Size Varies yearly based on the availability of clinical education sites for each major area and number of students in the non-clinical track.
Specific Requirements In addition to the Health Professions Programs’ admission policies and procedures found at the beginning of this section of the bulletin, the admission policies below apply to the Medical Imaging Technology Program.
Application Deadline November 15 of the year before anticipated entry.
Total Number of Prerequisite Credit Hours 90 (including radiography credits/credential) for most tracks, 74 (including radiography credits/credential) for ultrasound track.
Minimum Cumulative Grade Point Average 2.80 on a 4.00 scale at the time of application. All college courses taken, including remedial courses and courses that do not meet prerequisite requirements, are considered when calculating the minimum cumulative grade point average.
Minimum Specific Grade Point Average* Cumulative 2.50 on a 4.00 scale for all math, biological, and physical science course work. All college math, biological, and physical sciences courses taken, including remedial courses and courses that do not meet prerequisite requirements, are considered when calculating the minimum life and physical science grade point average.
*Achievement of minimum grade point averages is a condition of application eligibility only and does not guarantee acceptance into the MIT program.

The following applies for all students except those on the non-clinical track.
Medical Requirements All entering students must meet established health requirements. Before beginning the professional program, students are required to demonstrate proof of immunization for tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis, rubella (German measles), rubeola (measles), mumps, varicella (chicken pox), and hepatitis B. In some instances proof of positive titer can be substituted. All students must have a PPD tuberculin skin test within the last three months. Students may be required to complete a physical examination (see program specific requirements). Full details for entering students can be found at http://medicine.iu.edu/hpp/admitted/. Additional immunizations may be required at certain clinical sites. Students assigned to those sites must complete additional requirements prior to starting that clinical rotation.
Student Health Insurance All students are required to show proof of coverage under a health insurance plan. This is consistent with requirements for other health science students on the IUPUI campus.
Background Check and Drug Screen All students are required to submit to a comprehensive background check and drug screen upon notification of admission. A Social Security number is required to finalize an applicant's background check and allows a student access to hospitals that serve as the School's clinical partners. Further information about the requirement and cost is included in the letter of admission.
NOTE: Medical requirements (immunizations/health screen), student health insurance, background check and drug screen must all be completed by June 1st in the year of entry
Indiana Residents Preference Policy See the Health Professions Programs’ policy.
Experience While radiography experience beyond the initial radiography program is not required, it is helpful.
