Bachelor of Science in Nuclear Medicine Technology

Lewis University

With the development of new radiopharmaceuticals, cancer-detecting and cancer-killing agents, and new hybrid imaging, the field of nuclear medicine is growing at break-neck speeds - with a unique ability to determine physiological function at the molecular level. Your first three years of classes are at Lewis University, with your fourth and final year of classes at Northwestern Memorial Hospital (NMH) or the College of Dupage (COD), upon which you will receive your degree from Lewis. Students may elect to enter the four-year program for the B.S. in Nuclear Medicine Technology awarded by Lewis University in which the first three years of classes would be at Lewis University with the final semesters of clinical classes at Northwestern Memorial Hospital (NMH) or the College of DuPage (COD). Admission to the professional phase of the program is based upon successful application to the program at NMH or COD after the second semester of the junior year. Student applicants are considered and evaluated solely by the faculty and staff at NMH and COD. Student admission to the NMH and/or COD program is not guaranteed. Students must obtain/maintain health insurance and submit to a criminal background check as requirements of this program. Students accepted by COD will register through COD and pay in-district tuition and associated fees directly to COD. The clinical courses will be transferred back to Lewis University for completion of the degree.
