The Radiologic Technology Program prepares students to become Radiologic Technologists (Radiographers). Medical Imaging represents the second largest Allied Health profession in the nation. Radiographers work in a variety of health care settings including hospitals, clinics, and physicians’ offices.

This program takes two years to complete not including the previously completed general education courses.  The program begins in mid-August and includes extensive hours of supervised instruction in Medical Imaging departments in area hospitals.

In order to be eligible for admission into the program, students must successfully complete with a grade of “C” or better all of the required 16 hours of general education courses, AHC 104*, and demonstration of computer competency. There is a May 1st deadline.  All Learning Support courses in Reading and Writing as well as MATH 1000 must be completed with a “C” or better prior to the interview process.  For more information or to apply to this program, contact the Program Director.
