Program information
If you’re looking for a career in the radiology field, our Radiologic Technology AAS degree program will help get you there. The two-year program will prepare you to secure employment in the radiology field and/or to transfer with full junior-level status to a four-year institution in a related field of study. Our knowledgeable faculty, along with a required, hands-on internship, will train you in the skills necessary to safely administer X-rays to patients with quality care and using the most up-to-date equipment. When you complete this program, you will be eligible to take the New York State licensing exams and to apply for certification by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT).
The program is committed to students' success by providing a quality curriculum and a diverse learning environment through partnerships with the healthcare community. The competency-based program requires a minimum number of clinical competencies and completion of all academic course work prior to graduation. The required clinical internship involves learning the art and science of medical radiography through demonstrations, case studies, and supervised practice of routine diagnostic procedures using state-of-the-art equipment throughout the entire two years of education.

After review of the requested interim report, the continuing accreditation status of the associate degree radiography program sponsored by Mohawk Valley Community College was considered at the May 19, 2020, meeting of the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology (JRCERT). The JRCERT is the only agency recognized by the United States Department of Education (USDE) and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) for the accreditation of traditional and distance delivery educational programs in radiography, radiation therapy, magnetic resonance, and medical dosimetry. Specialized accreditation awarded by the JRCERT offers institutions significant value by providing peer evaluation and by assuring the public of quality professional education in the radiologic sciences. The program was evaluated according to the Standards for an Accredited Educational Program in Radiography (2014). The JRCERT took the following action:
