Once a student graduates from WellSpan’s Radiography Program, he or she is eligible to work as an entry-level radiographer. In order for a graduate to become a registered radiologic technologist, they must successfully pass the National Registry Examination offered through the American Registry of Radiologic Technologist (www.arrt.org). New graduates are encouraged to take the registry examination shortly after program completion. Graduates must ensure they meet all ARRT examination requirements or risk being ineligible for the exam.
Please note: To be eligible to sit for the National Registry Examination offered through the ARRT, the participant will need to have an associate, baccalaureate, or graduate degree from an institution accredited by a mechanism acceptable to the ARRT.
For this reason, WellSpan’s Radiography Program is proud to introduce a Bachelor of Science degree in Radiography through articulation agreements with the following colleges/universities:
- York College – Bachelor of Science degree in Radiography
- Bloomsburg University – Medical Imaging Bachelor of Science degree
- Gwynedd Mercy University - Bachelor of Science Degree in Radiologic
Students complete two years of academic preparation through York College, Bloomsburg University or Gwynedd Mercy University followed by WellSpan’s twenty-three month program. Acceptance of the student into WellSpan’s Radiography Program is at the discretion of WellSpan Radiography Program’s admission committee.
