Two-year (24-month) program

The Norton King’s Daughters’ Health School of Radiologic Technology is a 24-month, six-semester program that prepares its students to become competent radiologic technologists. The images captured by the radiologic technologists are used for diagnostic interpretation by a radiologist. Many radiologic technologists work in hospitals, although positions in medical clinics and private offices are available.

The Norton King’s Daughters’ Health School of Radiologic Technology offers a certificate in radiologic technology. However, in order to be eligible to take the ARRT national exam, all students graduating after Jan. 1, 2015, are required to have, at a minimum, an associate degree.
