<p>Kind of an advanced field--so don't get confused.</p>

<p>You need to look up "Nuclear Medicine" (4 year degree plus med school), not Radiology (which any person with a two-year degree and 3 science courses can go into).</p>

<p>Nuclear Medicine is extremely specialized and talks about how to determine what chemical radioisotope treatments can be used to cure cancers and heart problems.</p>

<p>Some schools that specialize in this are Baylor, Emory, and UCSD--all with bachelor's programs leading to medicine and all which have medical schools--which are excellent--and I mean absolutely excellent (also tough to get into)--at all three of these schools.</p>

<p>If, however, you want to get a BS specifically in Nuclear Medicine (and which is a tiny bit easier to get into yet is a pre-medical curriculum designed for people who want to go into this area in medical school), such a course is offered at UNLV (University of Nevada at Las Vegas).</p>

<p>Here's a link to that program:</p>

<p>P.S. I think I've chanced you before for the schools you listed--so I won't both repeating my "chances" for you.</p>
