The purpose of the Associate Degree Radiology Technology program is to prepare competent students to perform the duties of an entry-level Radiologic Technologist. They will assist the radiologist in providing a high level of radiologic technology expertise to patients in hospitals, clinics, extended care facilities, nursing homes, and other organized health care settings.

The program addresses the competency specified by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology (JRCERT) and prepares students for self-employment. Through knowledge gained from the Radiologic Technology program's didactic and clinical curriculum and from the liberal arts and sciences, the students develop the knowledge to consistently apply principles of radiologic technology and produce radiographs of diagnostic quality. The students will practice professional judgment, critical thinking, problem solving skills, and leadership throughout the program.

The student will have the educational background to practice as a competent, entry-level radiographic technologist, to develop personal growth, to enhance cultural enrichment, and to continue a commitment of life-long learning.

Graduates of the program are eligible to take the national certifying examination given by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologist (ARRT).
