The practicum is a project designed to give the student practical experience in a radiation safety setting at an approved site. The practicum is performed under the supervision of a faculty member of the School of Health Sciences or under co-supervision with a faculty member and another instructor approved by the student's advisory committee. The content of the practicum must be reviewed and approved by the student's advisory committee. A major report on the practicum results and experience is required and the faculty supervisor in consultation with any co-supervisor performs grading. Students on this degree option will take three to six credit hours of practicum.

Graduate courses taken while registered as a graduate student at Purdue University may be considered for fulfilling the plan of study requirements only if the student has received grades of C or better. For courses at the 300 or 400 level taken as a graduate student or courses that represent either undergraduate or graduate excess credit or transfer credit, grades of B or better are required for fulfilling plan of study requirements.
