Diagnostic Imaging, AAS
The Diagnostic Imaging program is a 22-month intensive associate of applied science program. The program prepares students through a progressive, outcomes-based education format and is designed to prepare students to practice as proficient, multi-skilled professionals in culturally diverse healthcare settings. Additionally, the program is designed to train students to demonstrate outcomes established by the American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT), and to successfully complete the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) certification examination.
The Diagnostic Imaging program is accredited by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT).
Students move through the Diagnostic Imaging program as a cohort. Classes are tailored specifically to these students, who attend class for approximately 40 hours per week. The program does not follow the traditional college terms.
Computed Tomography
The Computed Tomography (CT) program offers an online certificate through the Diagnostic Imaging department. Courses provide the professional community with a cognitive base of entry-level education in the practice of computed tomography (CT). The advanced professional practice of computed tomography requires specific knowledge and skills generally not obtained in basic educational programs in radiography. The core content section of this certificate represents curriculum elements that are considered essential to the didactic education during the post primary practice of computed tomography. The courses are offered solely online. Note: The Computed Tomography certificate is not eligible for Federal Financial Aid.
