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. 

  • Pass background check.
  • The criminal background check is to be completed within 90 days of the first day of the program.  Do not complete earlier.

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

  • Purchase student liability insurance at MCC Bookstore.
