The?curriculum?consists of basic science and math; general education including humanities, arts, and social sciences; and professional radiography core courses.

Students practice various radiographic procedures and techniques within our?fully energized x-ray laboratory.

Beginning in the second year, our students complete clinical rotations at our local affiliate institutions. This?hands-on experience?is supervised by practicing medical-imaging professionals and affords students the opportunity to apply what they've learned in the classroom.

By the end of the third year, our students typically have completed all of the radiography courses and the requirements for the Associate?in Science degree in health science. Once clinical competence of a predetermined list of radiographic procedures has been demonstrated, eligible students take a national examination in radiography offered by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT). Successful completion of this exam provides the radiography credential required to become a practicing x-ray technologist.

During their fourth year, students fulfill the requirements of the baccalaureate degree, preparing them to take a leadership role in healthcare and society through an undergraduate concentration in management, education, communication, computer science, or advanced science and medicine. Students may also? choose to specialize in computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or ultrasound (US) during their fourth year.
