Radiologic Technology, AAS Degree

This program creates a unique clinical and didactic challenge to students, including a combination of classroom study and clinical rotation for practical application. The classroom portion teaches the student the fundamental principles of x-ray production, whereas the clinical portion allows students practical experience in real life situations. Graduates of the program will pursue employment opportunities in radiology or diagnostic imaging departments.
