PROG RAM: RADIOGRAPHY-ASSOCIA TE OF APPLIED SCIENCE DEGREE Description The Radiography program at Weber State College 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, L.D.S., Lakeview, Logan, McKay-Dee, Mountain View, 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 wiU participate in clinical education within the affliate hospitals throughout the program. Education 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 quaUfies 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 CoUege admission application); (3) present a satisfactory high school and/or coUege achievement record (overaU 2.0 grade point average); (4) complete the two quarters of prerequisite courses achieving at least a 2.0 cumulative GPA. The above procedure must be completed prior to December 1st of each year. Student selection is made during mid-Winter Quarter.
