Recent recorded grades — Fall 2022: 3.57 GPA, 80.0% A/AB (n=15 letter grades); Fall 2024: 3.58 GPA, 85.0% A/AB (n=20 letter grades); Fall 2025: 3.63 GPA, 93.3% A/AB (n=15 letter grades).

What you’ll be able to do

  • Design simple and intermediate forward-based photon and electron external beam plans using beam arrangements/energy, wedges and blocks intelligently with regards to underlying physics

  • Create target and region at risk planning volumes, setup objectives for, and optimize, inverse planned intensity modulated plans.

  • Evaluate dose distributions using a variety of metrics.

  • Understand beam model commissioning process and limitations including data requirements and processing.

  • Understand dose algorithms used in radiation therapy (including but not limited to: convolution superposition, Monte Carlo, pencil beam.)
