Certificate in Pre-Radiologic Technology
The Certificate in Pre-Radiologic Technology Qualifications (CPRTQ) prepares students to enter professional medical imaging programs, the graduates of which sit for a national radiologic technology exam. The certificate includes a base in the university’s GER options in communication, computation and human relations. The CPRTQ includes all pre-requisites for entry into and all program co-requisites for completion of most A.A.S. in Radiologic Technology programs. Further, the program is designed such that all courses also fit into the parent UAS A.A.S. in Health Sciences program. This certificate exceeds minimum pre-requisites and co-requisites for the UAA A.A.S. in Radiologic Technology. Completion of these courses, however, is not a guarantee of entry into any particular medical imaging program. Students are urged to consult early on the program materials and advisors for those professional program(s) to which they may seek admission.
ADMISSION
Students are admitted to the program after completing an application for admission and declaring interest in the CPRTQ. At the time of admission, students are assigned to a Health Science advisor.
PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS
The CPRTQ Certificate requires 12 classes, yielding a minimum of 36 credits, of which 1of these credits are in the GERs. At least 9 credits must be taken at UAS. A minimum grade of C is required in all courses. Detail follows:
