Program Overview

Students in this program study two years of liberal arts core on campus before continuing in their clinical training.  The clinical component is conducted during the second two years at an area hospital that is a Joint Review Commission on Education in Radiologic Technology (JRCERT) accredited program.  Students graduate with a Bachelor of Science degree from Concordia University and they are qualified to take the National Radiologic Technology exam.

The RT program is very competitive and not all students are placed at a clinical site.  Placement of clinical sites is not guaranteed and college GPA is a major determinant.  It is required that RT students maintain a 3.0 GPA to be considered for the clinical placement that occurs during the second 2 years of the program.  The clinical component is 24 consecutive months at the hospital.
