Radiologic technologists, also called radiographers, operate
X-ray equipment under the direction of a physician, taking
radiographs of internal parts of the body. Most often
radiologic technologists are employed in hospitals, clinics and
physician offices. Graduates of the program will be eligible
for examination by the American Registry of Radiologic
Technologists (ARRT). Not all courses in this program
transfer to all colleges. Students planning to transfer
should see an academic advisor or counselor before enrolling in
any course. This program is accredited by the Joint Review
Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology. |
|
|
|
This is a selective admission program. In order to be
considered as a candidate for this program, students must meet
basic admission requirements beyond those required for admission
to the college. Many of the courses for this program are open
only to students officially admitted to the Radiologic
Technology Program. |

SUGGESTED COURSE SEQUENCE |
|
BIOL 201 and BIOL 202 must be completed prior to admission to
the Radiologic Technology Program as part of the Phase I
requirements for admission. MATH 112 is also required for
admission and may be waived by successfully passing the MATH 112
proficiency exam. The program admits students in the fall
semester only. Students who for any reason are unable to follow
the course sequence suggested below (for example, those who have
transferred in courses from another school, or have
prerequisites to fulfill) should contact an academic advisor or
counselor for help with adjustments. Although not a requirement,
it is strongly recommended that students complete Limited Choice
Requirements before entry into the program. |
