The Radiologic Technology program 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 BIOL 2010 with a grade of “C” or better. All remedial and developmental courses must be completed with a “C” or better prior to the interview process.
