The purpose of this program is to prepare students for entry-level positions in hospitals, clinics, and doctors’ offices performing procedures that produce images of the patients for diagnosis by physicians. Each student will be assisted in the pursuit of technical competence through lectures, demonstrations, supervised study, and practical experience. A graduate of the program is awarded an Associate of Applied Science degree. The program is accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology, 20 N. Wacker Dr. Suite 2850 Chicago, IL 60606-3182 (312)704-5304. Graduates are eligible to apply for admission to take the certification exam administered by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists.

Students are accepted into the Medical Radiologic Technology Program in the spring of each year. Admission to the program is based upon evidence of intellectual characteristics which are assumed to be consistent with a successful career in radiologic technology. The number of students admitted into the program is limited to the space available in clinical facilities.

Students are encouraged to take supporting courses prior to admission into the program. Supporting courses include all courses other than those designated with an “RADR” preceding the course number. Radiology courses must be taken in the order listed in the Program of Study.

Medical Radiologic Technology applications, criteria, and admission procedures are available from the Medical Radiologic Technology Program Director, Multi-Purpose Center. Applications are due by April 15 each year. Applicants must pass all sections of the THEA or approved alternative test or be exempted from the test. Those failing one or more sections may reapply after passing the test.

A minimum grade of “C” must be earned in all courses required for graduation listed on the degree plan. In addition, students must maintain a 2.0 grade point average while enrolled in the Medical Radiologic Technology Program.
