Radiologic Technology

Enrollment in the program is limited and a selective process is utilized for admission to the program.

Radiologic technologists (radiographers) are health professionals qualified to perform radiographic examinations ordered by licensed practitioners such as physicians, chiropractors, etc. Radiographers are responsible for the creation of medical x-ray images, the operation of radiologic equipment and the care of patients. The radiographer is ultimately responsible for providing optimal images with the lowest radiation exposure to the patient.

Technologists perform exams in outpatient settings and many areas of the hospital, including the emergency department, surgery, patient rooms, and intensive-care units. There is potential for advancement in areas such as computed tomography (CT), mammography, cardiac/vascular interventional radiography, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The full time salary for new graduates is approximately $54,000 per year, though salaries vary by geographic area and type of position. Support is provided to assist graduates in their employment search.

Eligibility for the Certification Examination and Licensure
Graduates of this program are eligible to take the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists' (ARRT) certification examination. Applicants for the ARRT may not be eligible for certification if they failed to comply with State/Federal laws (with the exception of speeding and parking violations) or violated academic honor codes. These must be investigated by the ARRT in order to determine eligibility. Licensure is also required in most states to practice as a radiographer.
