Radiologic Technology Associate of Applied Science
Once the prerequisite courses are completed with a minimum of “C” an application to the Radiologic Technology Program can be submitted. (Students enrolled in RTE 101 may also submit an application.) Due to limited clinical space, a competitive process is used to determine admission to the Radiologic Technology Program.
Applications are evaluated and scored with points awarded based on:
- GPA in prerequisite courses
- Grades in BIO 201, BIO 202, and RTE 101
- Writing skills
- Prior health care work experience
- Residence in the MCC service area
Applications are accepted in late spring of each year. Students who are not admitted for the following fall will need to re-apply for the next year.
Note: RTE 101 Introduction to Radiography must be taken within one year of acceptance and requires minimum final course grade of 80%.
Additional Program Requirements:
Proof of requirements are submitted through online record tracking system. See Student Success Advisor for Health Occupations for instructions.

Therefore a student with a drug screen showing positive for use of marijuana is ineligible for admission and/or continuance in the program.
