In January, 1889, Weber State University was first organized in downtown Ogden Utah as Weber
Academy. At the time, it was owned by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints; 117 years later,
at a new location and now a state-owned school, the University has grown to be one of the best
undergraduate schools in the State and Nation. At the present time there are approximately 18,000 fulltime students who may choose from over 160 degree areas. Recognized as a leader in the areas of Allied
Health Sciences, Technology, Education and Business, Weber State is competent in other aspects of
academia. In January, 1991, Weber State College became Weber State University.
The Weber State Campus is located at the base of the Wasatch Mountains in Ogden Utah, 35 miles north
of Salt Lake City. It is one of the most up-to-date schools in the Intermountain Region with 88% of its
buildings constructed since 1960. The beautifully landscaped campus covers 400 acres and has a
beauty all its own reflected both in the award winning landscape and in the 60 modern buildings.
Construction of the Marriott Health building was completed in September, 1995. A highly competent
faculty, combined with an extensive library and numerous „hands-on” labs, give the students a chance at
a first-rate education. Add to that a vast array of extra-curricular activities and you have a GREAT
University;
The Weber State University Radiologic Sciences Cluster of Programs was the recipient of the 1990
Secretary of Education‟s Award for Outstanding Vocational-Technical Education Programs.
Accreditation:
Weber State is a member of the American Council on Education and the American Association of State
Colleges and Universities and is accredited by the Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges. Being
an accredited institution allows the students to apply for federal student loans and grants.
Radiologic Sciences is a medical field that uses ionizing radiation, sound waves and magnetic fields to
produce medical images for diagnostic purposes or to treat diseases by combining medical procedures
with technology.
BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN HEALTH SCIENCES
To obtain a baccalaureate degree, the student must complete the WSU General Education requirements,
a major and a minor emphasis, a quality assurance course, and RADT SI4943, Baccalaureate Thesis (3)
or equivalent.
A specific curriculum pattern can, with consultation, be tailored to the needs and interests of the
student. Successful completion enables the student to graduate with a Bachelor‟s Degree in Health
Sciences.
