The application deadline is March 1.


Radiologic technologists are critical to diagnosing a patient. It is their ability to capture images of the body that can lead to finding the source of an illness or injury. In this program, students are able to work with imaging equipment to take x-rays and even enhance their training with a mannequin with bones.

After only 21 months, students in this program will receive an associate of applied science degree and be eligible to take the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists Examination for Radiographers. This examination certifies the applicant as a Registered Technologist, RT (R), ARRT.

Prospective students must submit a North Arkansas College application as well as a radiologic technology program application by March 1. Only applicants who have completed or have in progress BIOL 2214 Anatomy & Physiology I, BIOL 2224 Anatomy & Physiology II, and CP 0933, MAT 1011 and MAT 1012 (or a higher level of mathematics) will be considered. Students are required to maintain a minimum grade of “C” in each course required in the entire radiologic technology program curriculum. An overall GPA of 2.0 is required for admission into the program and for graduation.

North Arkansas College Radiologic Technology program is an ARRT approved educational program and offers an Associate of Applied Science academic degree. Upon successful completion of the ag娱乐官网 Radiologic Technology program, graduates are immediately eligible to sit for their national board examination through the ARRT.
