Certificate & Degree Details

• Radiologic Technology AS Degree

  Technology and Health Division
  Degree S1206
  The Radiologic Technology program is accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology and is recognized by the California Department of Public Health (CDPH). The program is designed to prepare competent and professional entry-level radiographers able to meet the needs of the healthcare community. A primary responsibility of technologists is to create images of patients’ bodies using medical imaging equipment. This helps doctors diagnose and treat diseases and injuries.

  The program provides a complete educational experience. Program curriculum includes the radiography didactic and clinical competency requirements set forth by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologist (ARRT), and the educational standards established by the American Society of Radiologic Technologists. Educational activities include lecture, discussions, group activities, labs, and hands-on clinical training.

  Upon completion of the Associate of Science (AS) degree in Radiologic Technology, graduates are eligible to apply for certification by the ARRT and the CDPH.
