The Nuclear Medicine Technology program at the University of St. Francis combines chemistry, physics, mathematics, computer technology, and biology in using radioactivity to diagnose and treat disease. Nuclear medicine uniquely provides information about both the structure and function of virtually every major organ system within the body. And the best part? According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the 2021 median pay for nuclear medicine technologists was $78,760 per year. The bureau also estimates employment for nuclear medicine technologists to increase by 2% between 2021 and 2031, which is faster than the average growth for all occupations. In other words, it’s a great time to study nuclear medicine technology! Classes at the University of St. Francis are small, with an average class consisting of about 16 students. That means you’ll be part of an intimate community of students and work closely with professors, allowing for deeper learning. It’s the ideal environment for a budding nuclear medicine technologist, and this major is recommended for anyone interested in pursuing a career in the health profession.
