This program offers you the opportunity to become part of a fast-growing and exciting profession. You will develop technical expertise and skills, such as effective communication, critical thinking, clinical competence, and professionalism. It incorporates both instructional and clinical education components.
The radiologic technology program develops competence in the knowledge and
skills required for radiologic imaging. The integrated curriculum includes 20 hours of
general studies credit and 48 hours of radiologic technology credits. The curriculum
incorporates both didactic and clinical education components. Students have the
advantage of practicing most radiographic procedures on campus in a lab similar to those
found in most hospital settings, as well as taking part in direct patient contact during the
clinical components of the program.
Upon meeting program completion requirements, graduates are eligible to apply for
the American Registry of Radiologic Technology (ARRT) examination. Successful
completion of the ARRT exam grants certification required for licensure in West Virginia

may not be eligible for certification by the ARRT and/or licensure by state agencies. Also
individuals with prior felony or certain misdemeanor convictions may not be permitted to
attend clinical due to various clinical site policies. In such cases students would not be
