Description

The Associate of Applied Science in Radiologic Technology prepares students for entry-level positions as radiographers. The program is designed in accordance with the Radiography Curriculum established by the American Society of Radiologic Technologists and consists of classroom and laboratory instruction integrated with hands-on experience in a clinical setting.


Accreditation: This program is accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology (JRCERT).


Additional accredited radiologic certificates are available through Yavapai College.


Credit Hours Required: 62-64


Application for Admission to the Radiology Program

A special application is required for admission to the radiology technology program. It is recommended that students work closely with their advisor to ensure all application requirements are fully met. Refer to the website: www.yc.edu/radiology 


Transfer Students

Students transferring from other regionally accredited institutions will have their completed general education coursework evaluated on an individual basis. All math and science coursework must be completed within the last 10 years.


Health Declaration

It is essential that radiology students be able to perform a number of physical activities in the clinical portion of the program. At minimum, students will be required to lift clients, stand for several hours at a time, perform bending activities, and perform fine motor skills with dexterity. The clinical radiology experience places students under considerable mental and emotional stress as they undertake responsibilities and duties impacting clients' lives. Students must be able to demonstrate rational and appropriate behavior under stressful conditions. Individuals should give careful consideration to the mental and physical demands of the program before making application. The technical standards for the program are identified in the Radiology Technology Program Application.
