This concentration was developed to educate students to meet the growing demand for technologists who image the body through the use of radiation equipment (X-Ray technology). As a member of the radiological team, technologists capture images of bones, organs, and blood vessels as prescribed by physicians to assist in the diagnosis of diseases or injuries. After completion of this concentration, students continue onto the clinical non-credit-non-degree certificate program. Successful completion of both the concentration and the clinical non-credit, non-degree certificate program are required in order to be eligible to take the national registry examination. Jon opportunities may be found in hospitals, physicians’ offices, urgent care clinics, diagnostic laboratories and industry. Since this is a program within the Health Science major, applications for the clinical non-credit, non-degree certificate program are only accepted from students who have been advanced to the major’s senior year curriculum.
