Admission to the Medical Imaging program from Pre-Medical Imaging is limited and competitive, based on a total composite score of the following:

• Prerequisite curriculum GPA (Must be 2.5 minimum in order to qualify for preadmission testing)
• Applicant Recommendation Forms (COMPLETED BY NON-FAMILY MEMBERS)
• Preadmission testing
• Personal interview *

* If the number of qualified applicants far exceeds the number of positions available, the program's Admission Committee reserves the right to limit the number of applicants to be interviewed to one and a half times the number of positions available in the class.

Completion of the prerequisite coursework and meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission.

All students are strongly encouraged to meet with an IU Fort Wayne pre-professional advisor to evaluate prerequisite course work and receive admission advising.

Applicants seeking admission to the Medical Imaging program must meet the following requirements to sit for the preadmission test:

1. Be admitted to IU Fort Wayne as a degree seeking student (active status is required prior to submitting admission materials).
2. Complete and submit all application forms.
3. Complete at least 13 credit hours of the Prerequisite curriculum with a minimum 2.5 Prerequisite curriculum grade point average. The Prerequisite curriculum grade point average (GPA) is a calculation used only for the admission process. The Prerequisite curriculum is:
   • BIOL 20300 - Human Anatomy & Physiology I
   • BIOL 20400 - Human Anatomy & Physiology II
   • COM 11400 - Fundamentals of Speech Communication
   • ENGL 13100 - Elementary Composition
   • Choose two of the following courses
     • COM 21200 - Approaches to the Study of Interpersonal Communication (Recommended) OR PSY 12000 - Elementary Psychology OR SOC 16101 - Principles of Sociology

4. Earn a grade of C- or better in all Prerequisite curriculum coursework.
5. Complete Biol 20300, Biol 20400 and a math course within 5 years of admission to the professional program.
6. Applications and other required application materials must be submitted between the first business day of November and the first business day of March each year. 

Special Considerations:

1. Applicants may complete the equivalents of these courses at other colleges and universities. A student may make multiple attempts at a prerequisite course, with the most recent grade calculated in the Prerequisite curriculum GPA.
2. Students may petition to fulfill some requirements with courses taken at a higher level than the specified course provided that the prerequisite course requirement has been fulfilled. This petition must be indicated by using the SUBSTITUTE COURSE COMPLETION portion of the Prerequisite Checklist Form. Students must earn a C- or better in the substitute course. If approved, the substitution grade will be calculated into the Prerequisite curriculum GPA provided it is higher than the grade for the course being replaced.

Prerequisite curriculum course work and grades from all post-secondary institutions attended will be reviewed and evaluated. Equivalents to pre-admission testing requirements will be evaluated on an individual basis.

All students are strongly encouraged to meet with an IU Fort Wayne pre-professional advisor to evaluate prerequisite course work and receive admission advising.

It is highly recommended that students submit application materials early. This will allow the opportunity for the student to confirm with Medical Imaging and Radiologic Sciences that all application materials have been submitted as required. Incomplete applications will not be processed.
