AAS Degree: Radiologic Technology
The Radiologic Technology Program is designed to provide medical diagnostic radiography training for students who wish to establish eligibility to participate in the national certification examination of the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists. Graduates who pass this national certifying examination are qualified to assume diagnostic radiographer positions in thousands of medical facilities across the nation, both in hospitals and private clinics or offices. After students gain on-the-job experience, they may be allowed to participate in advanced level examinations such as computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, or mammography. The radiography program is also an entry-level program for advanced imaging modalities such as ultrasound, nuclear medicine, and radiation therapy. Students interested in the program must complete 17 credits of general education course work, as well as HPR 178 and RTE 101, prior to applying. Please visit the RTE Web site or contact an advisor for more information on the application process. Information sessions for the Radiologic Technology Program are held regularly throughout the year.
Students must earn a "C" or better in all DMS courses to graduate.
