Catalog Description

The Computed Tomography (CT) certificate prepares Radiologic Technologists to work in medical facilities as CT Technologist. Graduates of the program are qualified to take the national CT certification examination given by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT).

The structured education will provide you with the opportunity to develop mastery of discipline-specific knowledge, integrate theory into practice, and hone effective and critical thinking skills required to demonstrate professional competence. Your clinical education will verify that you have demonstrated competency performing the clinical activities fundamental to Computed Tomography (CT). Together, these educational practices will help you master the knowledge you’ll need to obtain your credential.
