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.
