Radiologic Technology, Associate in Science Degree

The Radiologic Technology Program prepares students for entry level employment as radiologic technologists in hospitals and medical offices. It is sponsored by Middlesex Community College and offered jointly with Middlesex Hospital, both located in Middletown, CT. The curriculum covers a 27-month period, with the first 12 months primarily at the college and a 15-month period of technical and clinical training at the hospital, including a 3 month internship ( June-August).

Enrollment in the program is restricted by limited clinical facilities.

Applicants must first meet the general college admissions procedures (see college catalog). Once these requirements are met, the applicant must provide the college with the following information by March 1 of the year in which admission is sought: results of Basic Skills Assessment; three letters of recommendation from current and/or former teachers and/or employers, or three completed application Information Forms (available at www.radiologyschool.com or www.xrayschool.com), a one-page biography stating goals/reasons for program entry, and present documentation of having attended a fourhour program orientation at Middlesex Hospital. In addition, high school candidates must be in the upper 25% of their class and college applicants need at least a 2.5 average for all college work. A grade of C or better is required in Anatomy & Physiology I & II. Final admission procedures for candidate selection involves an interview with an interview committee and a personal background check, which is a hospital requirement to do clinical training at Middlesex Hospital.

Credit toward the Associate in Science degree in Radiologic Technology will be granted to graduates of a two-year accredited hospita-based program and who hold certification by the American Registry of Radiologic Technology. Admission requirements include: a detailed official transcript from the hospital program from which the student graduated and verification of certification from the American Registry of Radiologic Technology (copy of certificate or copy of registration card).

The Radiologic Technology Program is accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology (JRCERT), 20 N. Wacker Drive, Suite 2850, Chicago, IL 60606-3182.  (Learn more)
