Radiologic Technology

This program prepares students through quality education taught by industry experts in both small and large healthcare facilities for entry level positions.
Radiologic Technologists are employed in a variety of settings including hospitals, clinics, surgery centers, and free-standing imaging centers.
The need for Radiologic Technologists is expected to increase over the next 10 years with an average entry-level wage of $30 per hour nationwide. Graduates can add to their skills with post-primary certification in other diagnostic imaging modalities such as CT, MRI, and mammography.

This full-time program consists of academic courses and internships that are taken throughout the 22-month program. Students will work with state-of-the-art equipment in multiple radiology departments in northeast Colorado, as well as older technologies to become a well-rounded professional.

After successful completion of the program requirements, students will earn an Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree and are eligible to take the national certification examination through the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT).

"Over two years at MCC, I developed my skills with the help of my amazing teacher Susie, and other staff. Yes, the journey was stressful at times however, the staff was there to help me reach my goals and pushed me towards success. Upon graduation from MCC, I was prepared for the next step in my career, knowing I had the tools needed for success. I cannot thank MCC enough for helping to jump start my career in radiology. "
