Full Description

The Associate of Applied Science degree in Radiologic Technology educates students on how to perform diagnostic imaging procedures. Medical imaging is a branch of health care delivery that utilizes x-rays and other energy forms to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions. Through a blend of classroom education at the university and clinical education at a hospital or outpatient centers, students learn anatomy, patient positioning, examination techniques, radiation safety, basic patient care and imaging equipment operation.

Graduates are eligible to take the certification examination administered by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) to become registered radiologic technologists.
