RADIOGRAPHY Description The Radiography program at Weber State is the only college- based radiography program in the state of Utah. The program is accredited by the American Medical Association and is affiliated with the following hospitals: Alta View, Brigham City Community Hospital, Dixie Medical Center, Humana Davis North, Holy Cross, L.D.S., Lakeview, Logan, McKay-Dee, Mountain View, Pioneer Valley, St. Benedict's and Sevier Valley. The training is provided in an integrated manner through the utilization of on campus x-ray rooms, darkrooms, a radiation physics laboratory, and clinical experience in Radiology departments of the affiliated hospitals. During the course of the program, anatomy, radiographic procedures, and positioning are taught. The student will participate in clinical education within the affiliate hospitals throughout the program. The program is 27 months in length beginning in the fall of the first year and continues through the summer of both years. The student qualifies for an associate of applied science degree upon completion of the required course work. Upper division courses included in the program may be applied toward a baccalaureate degree. Admission Process (1) Declare major as Radiologic Technology; (2) apply for acceptance to the Radiography program (this is in addition to the Weber State admission application); (3) present a satisfactory high school and/or college achievement record (overall 2.0 grade point average); (4) complete the two quarters of prerequisite courses achieving at least a 2.0 cumulative GPA; (5) schedule an interview with the selection committee. The above procedure must be completed prior to December 1 st of each year. Student selection is made during mid-Winter Quarter. PROGRAM: RADIOGRAPHY-ASSOCIATE OF APPLIED SCIENCE DEGREE General Requirements: • At least 20 hours of General Education courses listed in the catalog including at least one course in each of the four areas of Humanities (HU and HL), Natural Sciences (PS and LS), Social Sciences (SS and SB), and Personal Development (PD). • An overall GPA of 2.0 or C is required.
