Radiology Technology

WELCOME to the Scott Community College Radiologic Technology Program's web page. Its purpose is two fold: 1) to give you information that will assist you in making a decision about entering the program, and 2) to answer other questions about the program, once you have made that decision. The information contained on this web page is taken from the program handbook and brochure. I hope you find it helpful.

As a student in the program, you will experience a curriculum that provides the opportunity for growth and development of your abilities and attitudes. You will find that this educational experience will prepare you to function as an important member of the health team.

Graduates will find employment opportunities in hospitals, clinics and other health care facilities. Radiographers generally work a 40-hour week that may include evening, weekend, holiday or on-call hours. Many radiographers also work part-time. Entry level salaries for graduates of this program will vary depending on employment situations and individual graduate's background. Median annual earnings for radiologic technologists who work year round, full-time are $36,900-$45,000. Technologists with specialized skills earn more.

Graduates may continue their education toward a baccalaureate degree or choose additional training to specialize in one of the many other radiologic imaging modalities such as CT, MRI, Ultrasound, Angiography, Nuclear Medicine and Radiation Therapy.

The Radiologic Technology faculty are ready and willing to assist you in obtaining your educational goals. Please do not hesitate to ask for assistance. You can contact me through e-mail or by phone . 

I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
Jan Jacobs, R.T.(R), M.A.
