Degree Overview

In the Clarkson College Associate of Science degree in Radiography program, you will discover the art of using high-tech imaging equipment vital to the diagnosis and treatment of patients. Our expert faculty and well-structured academic curriculum will prepare you to be a competent and compassionate certified radiographer.

The first year in the Radiography program encompasses an integrated plan of classroom-based radiology courses and closely supervised labs. Early on in the Radiography program, you will also utilize our on-campus high-fidelity labs to familiarize yourself with the various computerized equipment and to conduct simulated exercises with classmates.

During your second year in the Radiography program, you will complete a minimum of two clinical rotations for hands-on experience in real-world health care settings.  These rotations reinforce the foundations of knowledge learned from your classroom and lab experiences.

Upon graduating with your Radiography degree, you will be able to sit for the national certification examination in radiography administered by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT). After successful completion of this examination, you will be a certified radiologic technologist, R.T.(R).

Clarkson College students enhance their Radiography degree with a Bachelor’s degree in Medical Imaging to further increase their radiography career opportunities and salary earning potential in the field. Many students elect to pursue both degrees simultaneously.
