Allied Health Sciences — Radiologic Technology Allied Health Sciences — Radiologic Technology Candidates for the program are enrolled as pre-radiologic technology majors beginning the autumn quarter and continuing winter quarter of the freshman year. The actual radiologic technology majors are then selected from among the pre- radiologic candidates at the beginning of the spring quarter after each candidate has (1) passed entrance and aptitude tests, (2) completed personal interviews with the Program Director and the appropriate hospital personnel, (3) filed an application form for the radiologic technology program, and (4) completed the pre-radiologic technology curriculum. The curriculum is twenty-six months in length. Students are enrolled in the program each quarter (summers included) after official acceptance into the class (spring quarter of freshman year). At times other than during campus instruction, students are required to be in the hospital radiology departments gaining clinical experience. In addition to the intensive didactic instruction, the curriculum also includes a minimum of 2200 hours of clinical training. The Radiologic Technology major should comply with the college specific course and area requirements for the associate of applied science degree. Students must complete the following courses prior to their acceptance into the official class spring quarter :Health Occupations Core; Health Occupations 120 and 130; Health Education 200; and Mathematice 101 or 105 or a score of at least twenty-three on the math pre-test. Radiologic Technology 102, 104, 130, 240, 150, 151, 152, and 153 are completed during the freshman year and 154, 155, 156, 260, 265, 268, 270, 271, 272, 273, 274 and 299 are completed during the second year of study. Students who successfully complete the Radiologic Technology program are awarded the associate of applied science degree. To become registered as a radiologic technologist with the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists, individuals must complete the program and pass the Registry Examination to verify their professional competence.
