The Radiologic Technologist is an allied health professional who combines patient care procedures with an in-depth knowledge of human anatomy and proficient utilization of medical imaging equipment. The technologist’s goal is to produce diagnostic images of the human body with minimum radiation exposure at a level of proficiency that will cause the least discomfort to the patient.
The Radiologic Technology Program is twenty-four months of full-time study. It includes classroom courses and extensive clinical laboratory experience in departments of radiology at participating clinical affiliates.
The program is nationally accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology. Graduates may apply for the examination of the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) for national certification and subsequent licensure by each individual state.
The program has limited enrollment. A freshman class begins each Fall Semester at the Lee County campus. Applicants must meet specific application criteria. The enrollment process includes the submission of a health report that includes immunization requirements. Individuals having a criminal record are encouraged to check with the ARRT for registry eligibility by calling 651-687-0048.
Students are required to maintain a 2.0 grade point average in each radiologic technology (RTE) course to progress in the program curriculum. Each core course must be taken in sequence. A minimum of 77 credit hours with a 2.0 cumulative grade point average is required for graduation.
