Certificate
Overview
The Certificate in Radiation Protection Technology, is meant for those students who possess an associate degree or higher in a science-related discipline. The certificate supplements the previous education by providing the student with the opportunity to develop the skills necessary to evaluate a work site requiring radiological controls. Students will be able to design a plan to minimize personnel exposure to radiation, perform required radiological surveys for radiation and radioactive contamination, and manage a radiation protection program at a nuclear or Department of Energy (DOE) facility within the boundaries of radiological protection standards. Additionally, students will examine radiological survey data to detect and resolve errors in equipment operations.
Admission to the Radiation Protection Technology Certificate is restricted to those who have met the prerequisite requirements. The Certificate in Radiation Protection Technology is designed to augment skills of those who already have a science-related associate or bachelor degree.
