The Radiography program is designed to provide comprehensive education to prepare students for entrylevel radiologic technologist and/or technician positions. All individual didactic courses may be delivered via blended or full distance education. Instruction is provided with online lectures and hands-on experience conducted in a classroom setting or via simulation software. Externships are conducted in clinical settings at healthcare and imaging facilities. Upon satisfactory completion of the program detailed below, students will be granted an Associate of Applied Science in Radiography degree from NCC and will be qualified to obtain an entry level position as a radiographer within a healthcare or imaging setting. A computer meeting the technical specifications listed under Computer System Requirements in the Academic Policies section of the catalog and internet access are required for completion of this program.
