This rigorous program offers a wide variety of educational experiences in professional/technical coursework, the social and natural sciences, mathematics, the humanities, and communication. In addition to classroom and laboratory sessions, students will complete 1300 hours of clinical education coordinated by the faculty at DACC and directly supervised by licensed technologists at affiliated medical facilities. This critical component of the curriculum allows students to perform real world hands-on application of knowledge. The program is accredited by the Joint Review Commission for Education in Radiologic Technology (JRCERT) and its graduates are eligible to take the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) national certification examination and obtain state licensure.
Students must complete INST 101, Success in College, as a requirement for graduation.
Entrance Requirements:
Math* – placement by test into college algebra (MATH 111) or higher algebra-based mathematics or successful completion of MATH 105 Intermediate Algebra or higher algebra-based math course.
