Radiography Major - Associate Degree
The mission of the Radiography Program is directly derived from the mission of St. Vincent’s College at Sacred Heart University. It focuses on the education of radiographers who provide diagnostic services for the sick and sick poor. It provides a sound and stable educational environment where a diverse student population has the freedom to learn and grow intellectually as well as develop competencies in clinical skills. Faculty members are qualified and caring teachers and radiography educators who are dedicated to excellence in radiography education, healthcare, life-long learning and the mission of the College. The Program in Radiography establishes a technical educational foundation upon which students of radiography may continue to build their professional careers.
The Radiography Program is accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology (JRCERT)
The radiography curriculum is built upon a foundation drawn from the biological, physical, and social sciences as well as the humanities. Radiography courses include classroom, college laboratory, and clinical laboratory experiences. Graduates must successfully complete a minimum of 72 credits for the radiography major.
