The Department of Radiologic Sciences prepares students for careers in diagnostic imaging. Although most graduates seek employment as diagnostic radiographers, many choose to specialize in advanced imaging modalities, such as mammography, magnetic resonance imaging, vascular radiography, computed tomography, and ultrasound. To meet these diverse needs, the Department of Radiologic Sciences offers a Certificate Program in Radiologic Technology and a Bachelor of Science Degree in Radiologic Sciences. The certificate program requires twenty-four months for completion.
Students attend two academic years and two summer sessions.
The program is fully accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology. Upon completion of the prescribed courses, students are eligible to write the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists Examination for licensure as Radiologic Technologists. Students graduating from the certificate program and Registered Radiographers who are graduates of other college-level accredited programs may continue their education and complete a Bachelor of Science Degree in Radiologic Sciences. The baccalaureate program is designed to provide graduates of the certificate program with an opportunity to expand their career opportunities in radiology as administrators, educators, and advanced imaging specialists. The bachelor s degree requires an additional four semesters beyond the certificate program for completion.
