The University of Findlay offers a Bachelor of Science degree, an Associate of Arts degree, and a Certificate of Completion in Nuclear Medicine Technology (NMT). In addition to UF acceptance for a specified major track, acceptance into the professional program at the Nuclear Medicine Institute (NMI) is necessary. Students may apply to either a Spring or Fall NMI Cohort.
All prospective applicants are required to read the NMI Student Brochure, which contains very important information about the Nuclear Medicine Institute and the professional Nuclear Medicine Technology program. By the appropriate deadline, applicants must also complete the NMI New Applicant Questionnaire, three Reference Forms, and submit all post-secondary and high school transcripts. References should be professional connections, not personal or family references. This could include references from academia, co-workers, employers, extra-curricular activities, religious services, or volunteer opportunities. The NMI Student Brochure, NMI New Applicant Questionnaire, and Reference Form can be found below.
Admission Timeline
NMI admits one class per year in the FA-Fall (August). Applications are accepted throughout the calendar year, with specific deadlines. Please note that applications received after the respective deadlines will only be considered if time and space permit. The deadline for fall applicants is November 1st of the prior year.
As a part of your application to the Nuclear Medicine Technology major, you will be asked to submit a non-refundable $50 application fee, which may be paid electronically.
