Radiologic Technology Program

Radiologic Technology

A career as a radiologic technologist (RT) starts at Clarkson College, where students discover the art of providing diagnostic services to patients using high-tech imaging equipment. Upon completion of the program, RTs are in demand at hospitals, imaging facilities, urgent care clinics, private physician offices and many other health care facilities, in addition to other industries and civil service settings.

Upon successful completion of the program, you will be able to sit for the national certification examination in radiography administered by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT). After successful completion of this examination, the individual will be a certified radiologic technologist, R.T.(R). Some states may also require licensure to practice.

Those students wishing to work toward their baccalaureate degree can choose to enter the Bachelor of Science in Medical Imaging (MI) program. With this dual degree option, students have the opportunity to work toward their Associate’s and Bachelor’s degree simultaneously. Those students who start the RT program with an Associate's degree can earn both an RT and an MI degree in two years.
