Radiologic Technology AAS Degree
The Radiologic Technology Program is designed to provide training in radiologic technology for students who wish to establish eligibility to participate in the national certification examination of the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT). Graduates who pass the national certifying examination are qualified to assume diagnostic radiographer positions in medical facilities across the nation, both in hospitals and private clinics or offices. Graduates of the program may also be eligible to pursue further certification in CT, MRI, Mammography, Ultrasound, Nuclear Medicine, and Radiation Therapy.
The required general education and prerequisite courses must be complete or in-session when the student applies to the program. Upon acceptance into the program, students can expect to spend 30-40 hours per week in the classroom or at clinical internship. Internships take place in healthcare facilities. Students can expect to rotate through a variety of clinical shifts, including days, nights, weekends, and overnights. The final semester will include a capstone course. Additional fees apply for most RTE courses.
Admission to the radiologic technology program is through a competitive selection process. Applications are accepted once a year between January–March. Information sessions are held regularly throughout the year. Please contact an advisor or visit the website for details: www.rrcc.edu/radiologic-technology.
