Admission to the college/university (not programme-specific): Admission to the radiation sciences major is competitive and selective; acceptance into a professional program or the major is not guaranteed. Students who wish to enter the major must first be admitted to the University of Iowa as College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (CLAS) students with a radiation sciences interest. Transfer students are encouraged to apply and send transcripts in early October to allow time for transfer course articulation. After students are admitted to UI and prerequisite courses are nearly completed, they must apply to the radiation sciences professional program(s) of their choice by January 15.

Accepted students enter a professional program, the radiation sciences major, and the Carver College of Medicine the following fall semester.
