Radiography and Digital Imaging
In 2009, the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) board of trustees voted to require that beginning Jan. 1, 2015, candidates applying for certification in radiography, nuclear medicine, radiation therapy, MRI, and sonography must have earned, at minimum, an Associate’s degree. With the Associate’s quickly becoming the minimum qualification, the importance of earning a Bachelor’s and keeping your competitive edge on the competition is essential.
Our BS RS program offers a compilation of both business and radiography skills.It offers you all the experience and value of a Heathcare Administration degree, while still focusing on radiography theory and practice. Our graduates are professional leaders of imaging departments, imaging educators, community advocates, and a percentage go on to become Radiographer Assistants.
Program Purpose
The purpose of the Baccalaureate Degree program is to prepare registered imaging professionals to provide holistic healthcare to individuals, families and communities. Graduates from this program are prepared to use theory and research based knowledge as a designer, coordinator and manager of the holistic health care in a diverse setting.
The program is grounded in Christian principles and integrated with courses from the arts and sciences that enrich the student and contribute to the development of a broader worldview of radiologic sciences. The program provides a foundation for the graduate to enhance professional growth, facilitate career mobility and provides a foundation for graduate work.
