ARRT Requirements | Clarkson College

Clarkson College has not always been a college. Instead, we began in 1888 as a school of nursing—the first in the state of Nebraska. Over the last 125 years, we've established a new campus, expanded our program offerings and adopted a new name. All the while, we've maintained a commitment to preparing our students to be the best in various realms of health care. This commitment to excellence has and always will remain a defining quality of Clarkson College.

Upon successful completion of this requirement, candidates must sit for their board examination(s) within a 24-month period.

What Qualifies As Structured Education?

Structured education can be in the form of either RCEEM-approved continuing education activities or ARRT-approved academic courses. At least one continuing education credit or its equivalent of structured education in each certification content category is required.

Start Preparing Now

Clarkson College is now offering ARRT-approved structured education courses in a number of the post-primary certification categories. The flexible, self-paced online study options qualify you for your post-primary certification exam and meet the new 2018 certification requirements. Review the Course Descriptions and details on How to Register.

What Is the Purpose of the New Requirements?

The rationale for creating three-credit hour courses was to meet the content specification for each post-primary certification. This way, students are not confined to one section but all sections to allow them to be more successful on their board exams.
