Course Overview

Our four-year program leads to a certificate of completion and a Bachelor of Science degree in Radiologic Technology. Our program offers multiple benefits:

• Students earn their professional credential in radiography and gain eligibility for an additional credential in advanced imaging (CT, MRI, or sonography) — highly attractive to potential employers.

• Graduates of our radiologic technology program enjoy nearly 100 percent job placement within 12 months of graduation.

• A bachelor's degree in radiologic technology provides you with a distinct advantage throughout your career — from landing your first job in an imaging facility to advancing to administrative and other higher-level healthcare positions.

General Eligibility

You must meet requirements established by the College of Education, Nursing and Health Professions. Prior high school or college courses should include mathematics, biology, and either chemistry or physics. You are encouraged to complete 20 hours of internship experience prior to beginning the professional component curriculum in your sophomore year.

Progression Requirements

A first-year student must maintain an overall GPA of 2.5 for eligibility to move into the professional portion of the curriculum in the fall of sophomore year. Only students who successfully complete all required courses during the first (freshman) year, with a minimum 2.5 GPA, are eligible to enter the professional portion of the radiography (RAD) curriculum. Students who fail to achieve the 2.5 minimum GPA and lose their professional RAD program eligibility are encouraged to re-apply for eligibility once the disqualifying item(s) have been rectified.

Transfer Admission

Opportunities for transfer students are limited and occur only on a space-available basis. A minimal number of slots may open for transfer (non-freshman) applicants to the RAD program each year. Students wishing to transfer from other majors or colleges of the University of Hartford must have completed all prior coursework with a minimum GPA of 2.5. Transfer students must also have completed the following courses:

1. One college-level math course (3 credits) at the algebra level or higher

2. One college-level course, with lab in each of the following sciences: general biology (4 credits), general chemistry (4 credits), and general physics (4 credits)

Once these criteria have been met, students are eligible for placement on a waiting list. Decisions on waiting-list applicants are made in May for the fall semester and are based solely on achieved GPA. The process for transfer application, wait-listing, and selection to the RAD program applies to transfer students from both within and outside the University of Hartford.

If you are applying as a transfer student from another institution, you will submit your application and documentation to our Office of Admission.
