2024-2025 Catalog

Radiologic Technology- Associate in Applied Science

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 approximately 1500 hours of clinical education coordinated by the faculty at DACC and directly super- vised 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 apply to take the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) national certification examination and obtain state licensure. All courses must be completed with a grade of "C" or better. This program is an occupational program typically not designed to transfer; however, this program has been articulated to some senior institutions. Please contact a counselor for specific details.

Entrance Requirements:
Math* – placement by testing into college algebra (MATH 111) or higher algebra-based mathematics or successful completion of MATH 108 Intermediate Algebra.
