What are the educational requirements for becoming a radiologic technologist?
There are as many avenues for entering the profession as there are disciplines and specialties. The most common route is a two-year program housed in community colleges, universities, private schools and hospitals. Some of the disciplines require the two-year radiography certification prior to enrollment in the course of study for that discipline or specialty. Others require various prerequisites for entry that may or may not include radiography courses. Some of these programs are advancing to a four-year baccalaureate level, which the profession promotes.
