Radiologic Technology AAS Degree

The Radiologic Technology AAS degree program prepares students for a career as a radiologic technologist in Radiography and graduates are eligible to sit for the ARRT certification exam in Radiography RT(R). Admission to the program is through a competitive selection process including admission to the college and a separate program application. The program is full-time, starts in the Fall, and spans 21 month/5 semesters. Instruction occurs primarily at the Arvada campus, but also via online coursework and clinical internship at medical facilities. Clinical internship occurs throughout the program. Basic clinical training is completed before students enter clinical rotation. A capstone registry review course is required during the final semester prior to graduation.

Program pre-reqs may be in-progress at the time of program application, but must be completed by the May prior to the Fall start of the program. Additional fees apply for most RTE courses.
