Student Testimonials

"I've always been interested in the medical field and saw the opportunities that a B.S. in Radiologic Sciences can provide. The field of radiology is huge and there are so many different avenues I can take with this degree. I hope to work as radiological technologist in interventional radiography. I like that I'm able to work with many types of people and that I learn something new every day."
John Boyle, 2019

"I chose radiologic sciences because of my attraction to anatomy and my passion for patient care. Being a part of this program at CBU has allowed me the privilege to experience an education that nurtures my spiritual life. I have had the opportunity to exercise my clinical practice on modern equipment, learn from notable professors, network with extraordinary medical staff, and have gained relationships with those who aspire to similar goals as myself."

Meet Some of Our Faculty

Mark DeHaro

Program Director

I am passionate about healthcare and education. I started my career as a radiologic technologist and immediately knew I had chosen the right career path. It was a perfect fit because I love helping people. I realized I could help people on a much larger scale by furthering my education, so I went back to school for a master’s in healthcare administration. Then, God directed me to go into education so that I could provide others with the foundation I was given.

Assistant Professor

Prior to pursuing a teaching career, I worked as an X-ray technologist and a jet mechanic for several years. As a teacher, I can use my experience to help students achieve their goals. I love that CBU allows professors to pray before class and share how the ministry of Christ correlates with caring and quality patient care. A cool thing: My wife, Lurner, and I were Newlywed Game winners. We celebrated 47 years of marriage in 2017.

Kristin Beinschroth

Assistant Professor

I started the journey toward radiologic sciences after my mother was diagnosed with cancer from a medical imaging exam. I felt the need to give back and contribute to the field that gave my mother a great chance at survival. As a radiologic technologist, I have traveled to Washington, D.C. and lobbied on Capitol Hill, proudly advocating for the profession of radiology. As a teacher, I have the honor of being a part of students' paths just as my teachers were for me.
