Mission
The mission of the Medical Imaging Sciences (MIS) program is to provide students with excellence in imaging education. MIS aims to produce academically and clinically competent radiographers who will become patient advocates in their field and perform their duties with empathy and respect towards all patients.
Promotion
For promotion from year I to year II, students must complete a minimum of 39 credits. For promotion from year II to year III, students must complete a minimum of 70 credits.
Residency Requirements
As per AUB policy, students must earn their final forty-five (45) credits while in residence (refer to the General University Academic Information section). Given the structured curriculum, nature of the practical training, and course offerings, students of the Faculty of Health Sciences must meet the following minimum residency requirements. The minimum number of credits is 45. However, the maximum number of credits to be taken will depend on course equivalency.
Students pursuing the medical imaging sciences major are required to register for four regular terms.
Graduation Requirements
To be eligible for graduation with the degree of bachelor of science in medical imaging sciences, students must:
- pass a minimum of 102 credit hours after freshman science class or its equivalent.
- achieve a total cumulative GPA of 2.3.
- achieve a cumulative GPA of 2.3 in the major field of study.
