History

1967–1970

91¶ÌÊÓƵ’s Radiologic Sciences program evolves from 2 radiography programs conducted by St. Benedict’s Hospital and Dee Memorial Hospital. Students complete general education courses at Weber State College (later 91¶ÌÊÓƵ), while professional courses are taught at the hospitals.

1969

The Utah Board of Regents assigns Weber State College the primary role for the study of radiologic sciences.

1970

The hospitals give up sponsorship of the radiography programs, and the college assumes responsibility of the programs with all classes taught on campus.

1976

The Utah Board of Regents approves the Nuclear Medicine and Radiation Therapy programs.

1980

The Utah Board of Regents approves the Diagnostic Medical Sonography program.

Early 1980s

The Utah Board of Regents approves our baccalaureate degree level in allied health sciences, allowing many of our programs to become educational career ladders for technologists.

1980s

As innovative technological imaging modalities develop, programs in Computed Tomography, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Cardiovascular Interventional Technology and Advanced Radiography are added.

Mid-1980s

Due to campus-wide budget reductions, our faculty is faced with possibly discontinuing advanced specialty modalities. Rather than ending the programs and leaving the medical community without a manpower source, with the permission of the dean and 91¶ÌÊÓƵ administration, the programs move to the Division of Continuing Education.

Early 1990s

A Mammography emphasis is added.

2010s

The Master of Science in Radiologic Sciences is created in 2010.

In 2018, the Department of Radiologic Sciences becomes the School of Radiologic Sciences.
