Radiologic Technology

The Radiologic Technology Program provides a general education and clinical training program that prepares students for a career in radiography. The technical program combines theory through traditional classroom instruction and laboratory experiences on campus, and clinical experiences in affiliating hospitals to provide opportunities for students to develop skills needed to enter the Radiology profession.

The Radiologic Technology Program commences in August of each year and runs for 22 consecutive months with a projected graduation date in May. Students receive traditional classroom instruction and laboratory experience on campus during the program. Clinical experience with actual patient contact is provided by rotation through the affiliated hospitals during this period.
