About the Program

The UHC Radiologic Technology Program is an intense, comprehensive medical imaging program which combines didactic and clinical study. The Professional Training Component is full-time Monday – Friday and spans five consecutive semesters. Enrolled students take didactic and clinical lab and simulation classes at UHC. Clinical education also takes place at several local healthcare facilities. Small classes, close relationships with faculty, and personalized education characterizes didactic and clinical classes.

Typical didactic classes occur from 8:00 AM – 4:30 PM on specified days (according to each semester.) To provide students a vast array of clinical experiences, clinical rotation hours may occasionally start as early as 7:00 AM or end as late as 7:00 PM. Students are provided lunch breaks.

Radiologic Technology offers a bachelor’s degree or associate degree. While the Professional Training Component is the same for both degrees, the bachelor's program requires more prerequisite credit hours. Students earn the bachelor’s degree to qualify for supervisory or other positions or to seek additional specialty training. The associate degree provides students the baseline academic prerequisites necessary for applying to the program. Students must complete, at minimum, all required prerequisite academic courses for the associate degree before starting the Professional Training Component. 

Curriculum Guides

The curriculum for the Radiologic Technology Program follows the American Society of Radiologic Technologists curriculum guide in the presentation of Radiography content.

Program Effectiveness Data on the JRCERT website

The program uses the census date to determine the number of students entering the program. Students who withdraw due to changes in major/course of study, military deployment, or financial, medical/mental health, or family reasons are not counted when calculating number of students entering. When determining the number of graduates employed, the number of actual graduates may differ from the number of those actively seeking employment. The program does not include graduates who decline positions due to salary, hours, or location; fail to respond to program officials regarding employment status; are on military deployment; or do not seek employment due to continuing their education.
