Program Highlights

Start a new future for yourself with a radiologic technology degree.

Radiologic imaging is often the first step in identifying, diagnosing and treating many diseases and is an increasingly common part of many medical procedures and regimens. Performing diagnostic imaging procedures requires the training, skill and experience to fully understand the technical standards of the radiologic sciences and provide quality healthcare. This is a limited enrollment program.

  • Our associate in radiologic technology program is designed by employers in the industry and taught by professionals in the field to ensure that your education is relevant and all-encompassing.
  • Classroom study, labs, closed-circuit video training and actual clinical experience all come together to provide a wealth of experience, training and knowledge to ensure that you’re ready to go as soon as you enter the workforce.
  • The Associate of Science in Radiologic Technology program at Baker College is accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology (JRCERT).
  • Students will complete two semesters of clinical rotations. Clinical rotations will start in early May and end in late December. Students are required to attend clinical experiences full-time which is defined as 40 hours a week, and 8-10 hour shifts. In addition, students may be expected to attend clinical rotations during 1st, 2nd, or a weekend rotating shift. The total time of clinical hours will be 1240 hours.

Why Study Radiologic Technology?

Radiographers are highly skilled professionals qualified to perform diagnostic imaging procedures and examinations prescribed by licensed medical practitioners. Technologists apply knowledge of anatomy and physiology, positioning and radiographic techniques to provide quality healthcare services. The mission of the Baker College radiologic technology degree program is to enable qualified students to develop into competent and professional entry-level radiographers who are prepared to successfully sit for the ARRT examination and acquire gainful employment. We believe that this is done through exercises in critical thinking, varied clinical experience, the encouragement of universally responsible behavior and foundations in guiding radiologic principles.
