Academic Schedule, Calendar, and Grading System
Academic Schedule, Calendar, and Grading System
Our curriculum includes classroom lecture, laboratory, and clinical experience in radiologic technology. The curriculum is based on the JRCERT standards and the American Society of Radiologic Technologist (ASRT) Curriculum (Radiography (asrt.org)). The program is outcomes based and is designed to help the student achieve academic and clinical proficiency.
Classes are held Monday-Friday. Students spend the first 5 weeks in orientation before starting clinical rotations. Students spend 2-3 days a week in classroom activities and 2-3 days a week in the clinical setting.
