Radiologic Technology Admissions

Student position "patient" for radiograph
Adam Rafferty positions a “patient” (Amy Lee, a registered radiologic technologist and clinical preceptor within the department) for an abdominal radiograph using typical diagnostic radiographic imaging equipment within the Imaging Services Department of the CentraCare Health Plaza located in Waite Park, Minn. (2005)

Applications for admission into a radiologic technology major may be picked up in the dean’s office. The College of Science and Engineering requires that students have completed a minimum of 16 credits with a grade point average of 2.0 or higher, along with meeting the requirements for the department and major.

Students may apply to the radiologic technology major when they have completed a minimum of 16 credits and have a grade point average of 2.0 or higher. It is suggested that students apply for the major as early as possible to ensure a timely plan for completing the required courses and securing a seat in a clinical program.

The affiliated clinical programs are at St. Cloud Hospital in St. Cloud, Minn., Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., and Rice Memorial Hospital in Willmar, Minn. Students must apply for the clinical phase early in their second year. Acceptance is competitive and is based on criteria established by the hospital affiliates and is available in the radiologic technology coordinator’s office. Admission to the major does not guarantee a clinical internship. All of the pre-clinical requirements should be completed prior to beginning the clinical phase.
