Please refer to page 280 for the Master of Science in Radiologic Sciences Radiography I he Radiography program provides integrated didadic instruction with the utilization of on-campus x-ray rooms and clinical experience in Radiology departments of affiliated health facilities. During the course of the program, radiologic physics, anatomy, radiographic procedures, positioning, and patient assessment are taught. The student will partidpate in clinical education within the affiliate health facilities throughout the program. The program is 5 continuous semesters. The student qualifies for an Associate of Applied Science degree upon completion of the general education requirements and the professional course work. Upper division elective courses completed during the program may be applied toward a baccalaureate degree.
