Accreditation Disclosure
The Radiologic Technology Program is a newly developed program designed to prepare students for entry-level careers in medical imaging.
The program is not currently accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology (JRCERT). The institution plans to pursue JRCERT accreditation once eligibility requirements are met, in accordance with JRCERT policies and timelines.
The curriculum is thoughtfully designed to align with ARRT content specifications and JRCERT educational standards, emphasizing imaging technology, patient care, radiation safety, and ethical practice.
What This Means for Students
Graduation from a JRCERT-accredited program is required to be eligible for certification by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT). Students enrolling prior to accreditation should understand that eligibility for ARRT certification depends on the program successfully achieving JRCERT accreditation.
We are committed to transparency and encourage prospective students to ask questions and review accreditation information as part of their enrollment decision.
