I'm wanting to apply to dosimetry masters and post-baccalaureate programs. I got a bachelors degree in psychology from TESU about 5 years ago. At the time it got me a promotion that made the cost and time of the degree worthwhile.
Your Location: Ohio
Your Age:32
What kind of degree do you want?: A BS in physical or biological science works, or a BA in physics, biology, or chemistry.
Current Regional Accredited Credits - 116.5
Current ACE Credits - 68
I need to take some additional RA credits. These could be incorporated into a degree program or separate.
Physics I and II
Biology I
Precalculus or above (one semester)
Oral communication - I took an ACE public speaking class, but I'll need an RA one
Medical Terminology (I took this as part of my LPN, but it was mostly a clock hours program so I don't think it counts)
Radiation Physics - only required by one program, so I may skip if it's too costly or difficult to locate
The exact classes is listed at the bottom of the post, because it's a lot. Please let me know if there's a better way to format this, or if there's some way to put them behind a spoiler so they're not so gigantic.
Any certifications or military experience?: I was an LPN until covid and was a CNA before that. No military experience.
Budget: $5000 would be ideal. I know that's asking a lot.
Commitments: I'm working full time, and intend to up until dosimetry training.
Dedicated time to study: 20 hours a week comfortably, could do 30
Timeline: sooner the better
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: none
