Radiologic Technology Program
Frequently Asked Questions
When does the Radiologic Technology Program start?
The program starts every August at the beginning of Fall Semester, and continues
for 21 consecutive months.
Is the program full time? Is there a part-time option?
The program is full time, and there is no part time option. Students move
through five semesters of courses as a cohort. There is only one section offered
for each course in the program. Each semester (except summer) there is classroom
work at the college, combined with clinical courses as local hospitals and
medical centers. Summer semester is 40 hours of clinical.
Can I keep my job during the program?
Most of the students in the program do have part-time employment. Keep in mind
that jobs must work around the class and clinical schedule.
Where are the clinical sites located?
The program cooperates with 13 clinical sites in several counties. We have sites
in Lansing, Howell, Hastings, Charlotte, St. Johns, East Lansing and Ionia.
Students will be assigned to two different clinical sites over the course of the
program. Students are assigned to the various assignments by the Clinical
Coordinator. Students must have dependable transportation for getting to any of
the clinical sites. Students do not get to select their own clinical
assignments.
How often are students assigned to clinical?
1st semester:2 days/wk
2nd semester: 2 days/wk
3rd semester-5 days/wk (40 hrs)
4th semester-3 days/wk
5th semester-3 days/wk
How many students a year are accepted into the program? How is the
selection made?
At this time, the program accepts 28 students a year. Students are accepted
based on a point system which is explained in the Advising Guide. Students with
the most points are offered a seat in the program. Since the pool of applicants
changes every year, the number of points needed to gain acceptance changes every
year.
When is the application deadline?
The deadline for fall admission each year is May 1st. Classes taken spring
semester each year may be counted toward the admission requirements.
