Arts, Letters and Science — Health Occupations Arts, Letters and Science — Health Occupations Candidates for the program are enrolled as pre-radiologic technology majors during the autumn and winter quarters of the freshman year. The actual radiologic technology majors are then selected at the beginning of the spring quarter after each candidate has (1) presented a superior high school achievement record, (2) passed entrance and aptitude tests, (3) completed personal interviews with the Chairman of the Department and the appropriate hospital personnel and (4) completed the pre- radiologic technology curriculum. For details of the application procedure, prospective candidates should contact the Chairman of the Department. The curriculum is twenty-seven 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 laboratories gaining clinical experience; for in addition to the intensive didactic instruction, the curriculum also includes a minimum of 2400 hours of clinical training. The Radiologic Technology major should comply with the College specific course and area requirements for the associate of science degree. Students must complete the following courses prior to their formal acceptance into the official class spring quarter: Microbiology 111; Health Occupations 120, and 130; Zoology 201; Mathematics—a minimum of 101 or 105 or a score of at least twenty-three on the math pre-test. Radiologic Technology 102, 130, 104, 240, 150, 151, 152, 153, and 154 are completed during the freshman year and 155, 156, 260, 265, 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 science degree. To become registered as a radiologic technologist with the American College of Radiology, individuals must complete the program and apply to the Registry to be examined to verify their professional competence. The Registry exam is usually given on the first Saturday in November of the second year. Courses of Instruction 102.
