About Our ASR Program:
Our Associate of Science in Radiography (ASR) program is one of the oldest and most successful radiography programs in the region. We excel at training medical professionals who are skilled in performing diagnostic x-ray procedures and providing attentive patient care in a variety of situations. Technologists have their pick of workplace settings, including large hospitals, trauma centers, outpatient imaging centers, physician clinics, and even mobile imaging units.
In our ASR program, students will get the best of both worlds: flexibility and hands-on learning! Hybrid courses allow students to get tangible and real-world experience in the classroom and lab, as well as the flexibility of online learning. Our expert faculty utilize technology and advanced educational methods to prepare students for a successful career after they graduate. This innovative approach provides diversified learning opportunities for our students.
Your ASR Experience:
Year One
In your first year, you will concentrate on basic academic courses. Your clinical education will launch with laboratory demonstrations that include practice on phantoms and simulated patients. You will start performing supervised radiologic examinations in the second semester.
Year Two
Your second year will focus on advanced studies with increased responsibility and independence within the clinical setting. Even better, you can rotate through a variety of specialty modalities, including CT, MRI, ultrasound, radiation therapy, nuclear medicine, and cardiovascular interventional technology.
Beyond
