Introduction
The primary role of the radiographer is to provide diagnostic images of the structure and function of anatomy to assist the physician in the treatment of injury and disease. Graduates are prepared with the technical skills necessary to perform a variety of diagnostic radiographic examinations. Examples of examinations performed include chest, upper and lower extremities, spine, ribs, skull, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, and reproductive systems.
The UAA Radiologic Technology Program is a 70-credit Associate of Applied Science degree program. The program takes approximately three years of full-time enrollment to complete-- one year of prerequisite courses and two years of radiologic technology courses. The admittance process is competitive due to the limited number of positions available for each class. Completion of the admission requirements does not guarantee selection into the Radiologic Technology full-major program.
