Program Note

Excellent information about the RADT career, salaries, and a career video can be found on the American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT) website.

The required Radiologic Technology coursework in the program begins Fall Semester only and covers two years, including summer sessions. Once the Radiologic Technology career courses are started, the student must follow the prescribed schedule. These required courses can be taken ONLY during the day. Many students prefer to complete all general education courses before starting the Radiologic Technology courses. Transfer students with transfer radiography coursework need to meet with the program director to develop a plan. Students are required to complete clinical experience. Some clinical hours begin at 7:30 A.M., and others involve late day/evening hours and occasionally weekend hours.

Transfer, Articulation Agreements, and Partnerships

See the Century College website for information regarding transfer.
This program is intended primarily for employment preparation rather than transfer to a four-year institution. Some courses may not transfer to a number of four-year colleges. If you are considering the possibility of transfer, you may wish to talk with your advisor, counselor, or program instructor before registering to discuss your goals, look at programs designed for transfer, and develop a plan. An articulation agreement exists with Metropolitan State University and Concordia University, whereby students with this degree can complete a Bachelor’s degree.

Program Learning Outcomes

At the end of this program students will be able to:

• Demonstrate critical thinking and problem-solving skills required for providing safe and quality patient care.
• Exhibit competence during performance of radiographic procedures.
• Communicate effectively with patients, health care team members and others with consideration of diverse patient populations.
• Plan radiologic technology professional lifelong learning activities.
