Bachelor of Health Science in Clinical and Diagnostic Sciences with Emphasis in Nuclear Medicine: University of Missouri - Columbia

This academic plan is intended for students pursuing an Associate of Arts - General Transfer Studies who plan to transfer to the University of Missouri - Columbia (MU) to complete a Bachelor of Health Science in Clinical and Diagnostic Sciences with Emphasis in Nuclear Medicine (BHSCDS-NM).

Admission to MU does not guarantee admission to the BHSCDS-NM program. This program requires a separate application and an interview for entry into the professional undergraduate program. To apply, the student must have a minimum 2.5 GPA and earn a grade of C or higher in all prerequisite coursework; however, competitive applicants typically exceed these minimum requirements. Students are strongly encouraged to review MU's College of Health Sciences website and consult with an MU academic advisor and/or program director as they prepare for the application process.
