RADIOLOGIC (X-RAY) TECHNOLOGY A.A.S. (TP)

This curriculum requires a minimum of two years of didactic and clinical experience. It offers a basic general education as well as an in-depth study of radiologic technology, which is supported by extensive clinical experience. The program is accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology. Upon successful completion of the program, the graduate will receive the A.A.S. and will be eligible to apply to take the certification examination given by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists. Radiographers are eligible for employment in the radiology departments of hospitals, clinics, and doctors' offices. The curriculum has been designed to provide a transfer option for students who elect to continue studies beyond the A.A.S.

Each of the radiologic technology courses builds upon material offered in the previous course. Students must meet prerequisites to first semester courses. A grade of C or better in each radiologic technology course must be achieved.

This is a selective program with specific admissions requirements. For additional information, contact the Admissions Office at the Takoma Park Campus, 240-567-1501, or the program department.
