Curriculum and Credit for Prior Learning

RRT to BSRT Curriculum

• Students may transfer in credits earned at an accredited community college or 4-year university.
• No limitation on number of credits that may transfer into USI.
• For students who earned their AS degree somewhere other than USI, a block of up to 50 credit hours can be awarded with confirmation of the RRT credential and licensure, where applicable.
• Total program requirements: 120 credits
• 39 credit hours of the 120 credit hours earned must consist of courses at the 300/400 level to be eligible for the Bachelor of Science degree.
• A minimum of 30 credit hours toward the completion of the baccalaureate degree must be earned from USI.
• Students must make a “C” or better in each REST course to progress or complete the RRT to BSRT program. Students will not receive course credit for grades of “D” or below and must repeat the REST course to progress.

Credit for Prior Learning through Validation

The University of Southern Indiana provides opportunities for RT students progressing toward a BSRT degree to receive credit for previous professional experience. Students may receive credit for NBRC specialty professional certification(s).

Validation with a nationally recognized certification:

• Students who are currently certified in an area which correlates to the course content may receive credit for the entire course.
• Students should submit a copy of their current certification to the course advisor or department chair for approval.
