Show Arts, Letters and Science Arts, Letters and Science For details of the application procedure prospective candidates should contact the acting chairman of the department. The curriculum is twenty-seven months in length with a class beginning each September. Students are enrolled in the program continuously from the time of initial entrance except for a two week annual vacation period. At times other than during campus instruction, students are expected to be in the hospital radiologic laboratories gaining clinical experience, for in addition to the intensive didactic instruction, the curriculum also embodies a minimum of 2400 hours of clinical training. The program fulfills the requirements for training Radiologic Technologists as outlined by the American Society of Radiologic Technologists and the American College of Radiology. The Radiologic Technology major should comply with the college specific course and area requirements and also should complete in the freshman year: Microbiology 1, Zoology 20, Health Education 2 and 3, Chemistry 5, Physics 5, Photography 1, Mathematics—a minimum of 001 or a score of at least twenty- three on the math pre-test. It is recommended that students who anticipate upper division course work include Mathematics 14 as an elective. Radiologic Technology 1, 3, 5, 6, 8, 15 and 27 are also taken. In the sophomore year students should complete Radiologic Technology 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 20. Students who successfully complete the Radiologic Technology program are eligible for an Associate of Science Degree which is awarded at the end of the second spring quarter of the curriculum. To become registered as a Radiologic Technologist with the A.C.R., individuals must complete full-time training in the hospital laboratories during the following two quarters and must apply to the registry and be examined to verify their professional competence.
