Program Overview

The Radiologic Technology program offers a comprehensive curriculum leading to an AS degree and qualifications for employment in medical facilities throughout the country. Students participate in classroom instruction and clinical education in our affiliated hospitals. Program graduates must take the licensure examination required by the State of California and the certification examination given by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists.

Prospective students must complete a separate application to the program (available in November for the following Fall entrance) in addition to the regular college application. An information meeting is held annually in November for prospective students. For more information, please call the Science and Technology Division office at 306-3291.
