National Accreditation

The program is accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology.

Statewide Designation

The program is designated as a Health Manpower Shortage Program by the State of Maryland. Some residents of Maryland enrolled in this program of study on the first day of the term may be eligible for in-county tuition rates for courses required for program completion.

State-Of-The-Art-Equipment

Our labs include state-of-the-art radiographic equipment. Students continue to develop clinical competency skills in hospitals and imaging group practices that may specialize in orthopedics, fluoroscopy, trauma radiography and surgical procedures. Students also develop both computer radiography (CR) and digital radiography (DR) skills in clinical settings. The program is affiliated with 18 clinical sites allowing students to be exposed to a wide range of technology and diverse patient populations.

Career Opportunities

Our radiologic technology program prepares students for entry-level employment in hospitals, medical offices, imaging centers, clinics, HMOs, mobile settings and newly evolving careers such as radiologic industrial hygiene. About one out of five radiographers works part-time. Earnings for full-time radiographers range from $25,000 to $50,000, depending on training, experience and workplace.

With additional education and clinical experience, registered radiographers can specialize in computerized tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), mammography, interventional radiography and quality management applications. Opportunites also are available in sonography, which normally requires an additional 12 months of education. All specialty imaging modalities offer advanced certification exams given by the ARRT.
