Support Patients and Master the Latest Technology in the Radiation Therapy Program
Radiation Therapists are a vital part of the oncology team for patients battling life-threatening illnesses. With NWHSU’s accredited Radiation Therapy Degree Program, you’ll be able to join the team in just over two years.
At NWHSU, you’ll have small classes and personalized help, with everything you need to succeed in the program. The coursework is rigorous. You’ll study physics, anatomy, and mathematics to understand the key skills you’ll need as a radiation therapist.
You will complete all your coursework and lab work in our modern lab as part of this program. After that, you will begin your nine-month clinical training. That means you’ll already have practice doing hands-on skills and can enter your clinical education with confidence.
