The radiography program offers the student the knowledge and skills for utilizing radiation in the diagnosis of disease under the direction of a physician. Most radiographers work in hospitals, medical clinics, and private medical offices, while some are employed in industrial, sales, governmental, and educational institutions.
The five semester program (which does not include the prerequisite courses) combines academic study with supervised clinical experience. Graduates of the program will receive an Associate of Applied Science degree and be eligible to apply to take the national certifying examination of the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists. Upon passing the examination, a student is certified as a registered radiologic technologist. The competencies of TREX 2000 are embedded into this program to ensure students benefit from and complete the requirements of the Transition Experience prior to graduating from LCCC.
The Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology (JRCERT), 20 North Wacker Drive, Suite 2850, Chicago, IL 60606-3182 (www.jrcert.org), through its accreditation of the program in radiography at LCCC, has established a maximum number of students selected each year for the program based on clinical site availability. Most students are employed immediately upon graduation from the program. Bachelor’s and master’s degrees are also available in the field. The program begins a new cohort each fall.
A student interested in applying for the radiography program may contact the Radiography Program Director, Clinical Coordinator, or the Admissions Office for specific procedures, including placement tests, which must be completed in the early spring for admission to the program in the fall semester. Selection of new students will be completed by early April and is based on a student’s grade point average, prerequisites completed, observation hours, and other criteria as noted in the program application materials.

If students choose to transition to another program within the Health Sciences & Wellness pathway, they should be particularly aware of the choice points that indicate when a decision to branch off into another program must be made to ensure credits and time are not lost.
Coursework common to all degrees within this pathway is indicated by CAC, Common Academic Coursework, in the program map.
