Changes to the Physical Therapy Assisting & Radiographic Imaging Technology Programs

The Division of Allied Health and the Mathematics Department have recently announced changes to the Math requirements for both the Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) and Radiographic Imaging (RAD) programs, effective Fall Quarter 2009.

Please read the following descriptions carefully, and refer to the updated curriculum check sheets below.

 

Summary of the New Math Sequence for PTA & RAD 

MTH 030 -> MTH 045 -> MTH 055 -> MTH 137

OR

If you have already passed MTH 121 with a “C” or better: MTH 121 -> MTH 137

 

Math Requirements for Qualification (i.e. getting on “The List”)

As of Fall Quarter 2009, if you are already Qualified for either the PTA or RAD programs, the changes in the Math Qualification Competencies will not apply to you. If you are not qualified, however; or if you are in need of re-qualifying for any reason; then, as of Fall Quarter 2009, your qualification for the PTA and/or RAD programs will include these changes in the Math Qualification Competencies.

Math Curriculum Requirements for Graduation

As of Fall Quarter 2009, if you are already Matriculated (i.e., in your Program Courses) into either the PTA and/or RAD programs, the changes in the Math Curriculum Requirements will not apply to you. If you are not Matriculated, however; or if you are in need of re-Matriculating for any reason; then, as of Fall Quarter 2009, your graduation from the PTA and/or RAD programs will include these changes in the Math Curriculum.

Frequently Asked Questions

• I am Qualified (i.e. on the List), but not in my Program Courses.  Do I have to take MTH 137?

Yes. 

• I have been attending Rhodes, but am not currently Qualified (i.e. in “The List”).  Do I have to take MTH 055 before I can Qualify?

You must satisfy this qualification requirement, either by taking MTH 055 or by COMPASS placement directly into MTH 137 (which would supersede your having to take MTH 055 as a prerequisite for MTH 137) .

• I have already taken and passed MTH 121, but am not yet in my Program Courses.  Do I still need to take MTH 137?

Yes.  If you have taken and passed (“C” or better) MTH 121, however, then MTH 121 constitutes having met the prerequisite for MTH 137.

• Can I retake the COMPASS Placement Test to determine if I need to take MTH 055?

Yes. Contact the Testing Center at (419)995-8476
