Radiologic Technology

Welcome to Grayson College’s Radiologic Technology Program!

The GC Radiologic Technology Program is designed to prepare students for careers as radiologic technologists. This program is twenty-two months in duration (after completing the necessary perquisites). During this time, students will receive didactic experiences at Grayson College, combined with clinical experiences at the affiliated hospitals and clinical sites. Students will earn an Associates of Applied Science Degree in Radiologic Technology after satisfactorily completing the appropriate curriculum. Upon completion of all the GC radiology program requirements, students may be eligible to take the national certification examination administered by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT).

Program Philosophy

The Radiologic Technology Faculty share the mission and values of Grayson College. It was designed with the philosophy that the most effective way to prepare graduates to enter the radiologic sciences profession is a progression from theory in the classroom to guided practice in the laboratory to a “real-world” application in the clinical environment. We are committed to contributing to the profession of radiography through teaching and service. We recognize that radiologic technology students are unique, come from diverse backgrounds, and have individual learning needs.

Program Mission

The Associates of Applied Science in Radiologic Technology program at Grayson College uses a multifaced approach to provide quality education that will prepare students to successfully pass the national American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) board exam and become competent and compassionate radiologic technologists who demonstrate both personal and professional growth as part of a dynamic health care team.
