Radiologic Technology Program

Degree Type: Bachelor of Science/Associate of Science — Program Overview

If you’ve ever broken a bone, you’ve probably met a radiologic technologist (radiographer). Radiologic technologists need to be efficient at taking diagnostic images, but it’s just as important that they’re caring and compassionate professionals who can put nervous patients at ease. So if you have a knack for science, but you also excel at caring for others, radiology technology may be right for you!

One program, two degrees.

Someone with a two-year associate’s degree can take x-rays. Someone with a bachelor’s degree is qualified to supervise that person — or in some cases, an entire hospital department. In our program, you’ll get both — a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) from Briar Cliff, in addition to an Associate of Science degree in radiology from St. Luke's College in Sioux City or another approved affiliated rad tech program. For more information, contact us.

The St. Luke's College radiography program is accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology (JRCERT). Once you pass our cooperative program, you’ll be qualified — and prepared — to sit for the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists Exam, which you must pass to become a certified radiologic technologist!

How does the cooperative program work?

You’ll take your first two years of coursework at Briar Cliff and two years at the rad tech program of your choice..

Already have an associate’s degree?

If you have already completed a two-year radiologic technology program, and attained a passing grade on the American Registry Exam, you can enroll at BCU and get your Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in just two years. For more information, contact an admissions representative.
