If you’d like to work with people in a medical setting and you’re intrigued by the revolution in imaging technology, consider this rewarding career. Radiographers produce X-rays that doctors use in diagnosing medical problems. Our program, which is fully accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology, combines classroom experience with resume-building clinical assignments in top rated area hospitals and medical facilities.

You’ll start practicing radiography in your very first semester and earn your Associate’s degree in 21 months.

The program strives to provide an educational environment that all students will find welcoming and encouraging for professional growth. We try to nurture independence and versatility by providing internship experiences at a variety of clinical sites and with a diverse group of radiographers and faculty. We encourage students to work together to learn from one another and to collaborate on assignments when appropriate. Classroom experiences are designed to promote active student learning consistent with our beliefs about the best way to learn. We expect students to accept responsibility for their learning, conduct themselves ethically and professionally, and hold them accountable for their actions.
Industry Outlook

Current job prospects in Radiography are projected to be on the increase with the aging of the baby boomers and their concurrent retirement from the field, with technologists in all modalities in demand nationwide. The career ladder for Radiography includes options such as CT Scanning, Angiography, Mammography, and Quality Assurance. Current average salaries for recently graduated technologists range from $35,000 in rural areas to $45,000 in more metropolitan areas. The trend in the profession is to have cross training in more than one specialty area, which brings higher starting salaries. In many states, there are no additional registration requirements for practicing CT, MR and ultrasound, however, certification exams do exist in those modalities for those who choose to pursue advanced registration
