Radiography I he Radiography program is provided in an integrated manner of didactic instruction and the utilization of on-campus x-ray rooms, darkrooms, 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 participates in clinical education within the affiliate health facilities throughout the program. The program begins fall semester of the first year and continues through the summer of the second year. The student qualifies for an Associate of Applied Science degree upon completion of the general education requirements and the professional course work.
