At IPFW you may complete two years toward the Bachelor of Science in nuclear medicine technology. You must apply and be admitted to the Nuclear Medicine Technology Program at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) to complete the degree. Completion of IPFW course work does not guarantee admission to the IUPUI program. Graduates receive their degree from the IU School of Medicine.
