Why study Computed Tomography?
The online Computed Tomography (CT) Certificate program is designed to prepare graduates for eligibility to apply for the post-primary certification examination in CT offered by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists. 100% of the didactic portion of the program is offered online.
Students are only admitted to the program in fall semester so please apply by the July 1 deadline! The curriculum is designed to be completed in two semesters (one year) but students may spread it over two years if they choose.
Students may also apply all CT course credits toward the Bachelor's Degree program in Radiation Science Technology which is also 100% online. For more information on this degree please visit the program webpage.
Admission Requirements
To be admitted to the CT certificate program, applicants must demonstrate certification as a radiographer, radiation therapist, or nuclear medicine technologist with the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists. Nuclear medicine technologists may also be certified by the Nuclear Medicine Technologist Certification Board. Applicants must also provide certified transcripts documenting the completion of an associate of applied science (AAS) degree with a minimum final grade point average of 2.5.
