The Radiologic Technology associate degree program is a sequence of courses that prepares students for positions in radiologic departments and related businesses and industries. Learning opportunities develop academic, technical, and professional knowledge and skills required for job acquisition, retention, and advancement. The program emphasizes a combination of didactic and clinical instruction necessary for successful employment. Program graduates receive a Radiologic Technology Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree and are eligible to sit for the national certification exam to become a registered radiologic technologist. The exam is administered by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologist.
This program is eligible for the Pell Grant and may be eligible for Institutional and State Financial Aid.
Contact a Financial Aid Counselor for eligibility requirements and application materials.
Admissions Requirements
Must be 18 years of age.
High school diploma or GED is required prior to admission.
(Official transcripts or GED scores must be submitted from all colleges and/or high schools attended for credit.)
ACCUPLACER Testing, or submit SAT, ACT, COMPASS, or ASSET test scores.
Program Specific Admissions Requirements
In addition to the General Education Core classes, the following classes must be completed before admission into the Radiologic Technology program:
BIOL 2113and 2113L
BIOL 2114 and 2114L
ALHS 1090
A competitive admission process, including the TEAS test and successful completion of core courses, is used to select students for the program. Students working on general education core and pre-requisite classes will be enrolled in the college as Interdisciplinary Studies (Pre-Radiologic Technology Students). Radiologic Technology program admission is a competitive selection process. Meeting minimum program criteria does not guarantee an applicant's acceptance into the program. This process evaluates the cumulative GPA of the eight core and occupational class and the GPA for specific math and science courses (MATH 1111, BIOL 2113, BIOL 2113L, BIOL 2114, and BIOL 2114L). The Radiography program admits students once per year at the beginning of the Fall Semester. Students must submit a program application, ATI TEAS VII Test results and any transfer credits to the radiologic technology program director by the end of the spring semester if they want to be considered for selection to the upcoming Fall class. May 20th is the Deadline for all application materials. The top 20 chosen for the program will be contacted by mid-July. Students will not be considered for selection unless a program application is submitted. All applicants must receive a grade of (C) or higher in each core class with a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.5 or higher to be considered for selection. Students will be admitted to the Radiologic Technology Program through a weighted score system made up of the following three factors:
40% GPA for BIOL 2113 and 2114 (& Labs) and MATH 1101 or MATH 1111 class
20% GPA for all other pre-requisite classes
40% TEAS Test (minimum composite score of 70 required to be considered for the program)
Total 100%
NOTE: The TEAS VII Allied Health Entrance Test is now required for all applicants. See Lanier Tech's home page for more information. The TEAS as normed for Allied Health programs was formerly called the Health Occupations Basic Entrance Test (HOBET).
