Associate in Science Degree Program
Radiologic Technology
The Mission of the Radiology Technology program is to prepare competent Radiologic Technologists who will assist the radiologist in providing a high level of radiologic technology expertise to patients in hospitals, clinics, extended care facilities, nursing homes, and other organized health care settings. The program provides education and training to diverse cultural groups which leads to employment, job advancement, or transfer to upper-level educational institutions, according to the statutory mandate and mission of the Board of Trustees of Community-Technical Colleges.
The Degree Program
The Radiologic Technology Associate Degree Program addresses the competencies specified by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology (JRCERT) and prepares students for employment. Through knowledge gained from the Radiology Technology curriculum and from the liberal arts and sciences, students develop problem solving abilities and critical thinking skills and acquire the educational background to practice as competent radiologic technologists.
The Radiologic Technology Associate Degree Program is designed for students to develop the knowledge and skills necessary to perform radiologic studies. Graduates will be eligible to take the A.R.R.T. national certifying examination. Radiologic technology courses must be taken in sequence. The program is fully accredited
by the JRCERT, 20 North Wacker Drive, Suite 900, Chicago, IL 60606-2901, (312) 704-5300. General education courses planned in each semester are to be taken prior to or concurrently with the radiologic technology courses. Clinical time during the winter break between Fall and Spring semesters is required.
