Master of Health Physics
At the annual meeting of the Health Physics Society, IIT offered to
provide demonstrations of our Internet lectures. We are now
offering the demonstration lectures to Radsafe subscribers. They
are available by clicking on the links at the bottom of the page
at:
http://www.iit-online.iit.edu/internet/programs/index.asp
The sample lectures include handout material and demonstrate
both the Internet mode of delivery and the content of our courses.
I invite you to view the lectures and consider the IIT program's
potential to help advance your career. We have had successful
student participation from industry, state programs, the NRC, National
research and weapons labs, hospitals, universities, and consulting
firms.
IIT is accepting applications for the Masters of Health Physics program
beginning Fall, 2001. This program, offered via the Internet, takes
2 years to complete. A one-week laboratory course must be taken on
the IIT campus. The program is designed to improve career
opportunities for existing HPs by enhancing skills and encouraging
certification. The program is directed toward the working
professional with an emphasis on preparation for ABHP certification. The
program includes core courses in Health Physics, Dosimetry, and
Environmental Modeling, as well as classes in Organizational Behavior,
Statutes, and Regulations.
Formal application to the Graduate College should be made as early as
possible to ensure admission for the Fall semester. Minimum
admission requirements include a bachelor's degree (usually a BS in a
science or engineering) and a GRE score of 1200. Applicants must
submit two letters of recommendation, transcripts, and current GRE scores
for regular admission. Alternatively, you may apply for quick
admission and take up to two courses before making formal application to
the program. Performance in these classes is considered in
determining eligibility for admission.
HPs may take individual courses such as the HP core, Regulations,
Dosimetry, Theory of Organizations, or the summer instrumentation course
without applying for admission to the program. These courses teach
specific skills and can serve as preparation for the ABHP certification
exams. However, only 6 semester hours taken this way may be applied
to a degree. Also, up to 6 semester hours earned at an accredited
college or university may be transferable. Students who do not wish
to apply for formal admission to the program for Fall, 2001 may still
apply for Quick Admission and take Fall classes.
Tuition is currently $595/semester-hour. The program is 32 semester
hours. Limited financial aid may be available, particularly when a
group of several students are employed by a single organization that
arranges to meet administrative requirements, including payment of
tuition and exam proctoring, centrally. Tuition may be deferred to
the end of a semester to enable a student to meet an employer's
administrative requirements for tuition reimbursement.
