A successful applicant for admission to the Radiography Program must meet the ADU general admission requirements and:

1. Have a minimum cumulative high school unweighted GPA of 2.50 or have taken 12 or more college credits with a minimum GPA of 2.50 from a regionally accredited institution. Applicants that have completed a minimum of 12 college-level credits at ADU and have completed the prerequisite course by the application deadline will be given preference for program admission. Applicants should be advised that the prerequisite course, College Algebra, must be completed by the program start date.
2. Have a minimum ACT composite score of 19. Applicants with 24 or more credits from a regionally accredited college are exempt from taking the ACT.
3. Successfully complete College Algebra with a minimum grade of "C" (2.00).
4. Submit two recommendations on ADU recommendation forms. Recommendations submitted at the time of initial application to the University will meet this requirement for new ADU students. Students who have attended ADU for at least one trimester must submit an additional recommendation from any ADU faculty member, adjunct professor, tutoring coordinator, or chaplain.
5. Each applicant is required to write an essay as part of the admission process. The essay should address each of the following: the applicant's reasons for wanting to enter the Radiography program; the applicant's reasons for wanting to pursue this course of study at ADU, a faith-based institution, and future goals; the applicant's characteristics and abilities that qualify him or her for this profession; the applicant's motivation for choosing a career in Radiography; and the applicant's perception of how radiologic technologists contribute to healthcare and how an educational experience at ADU will enable the applicant to make future contributions. Essays should be typed using Times New Roman, 12-point black font, one to two pages in length, double spaced with one inch margins. Essays are reviewed for clarity, correct spelling and grammar, and content.

Admission into all professional programs is competitive. Each program has a maximum number of students that can be admitted each year. Students meeting the admission requirements for a given program qualify to be considered for admission to that program. However, due to the competitive nature of each program's admission process, meeting minimum admission requirements does not guarantee acceptance. Students may be given preferential consideration for admission to degree and certificate programs when they have successfully completed 12 college-level hours at ADU.
