Our 17-month Weekend Radiologic Technology Program is designed for students who need
to balance school with work and personal responsibilities. While most coursework and
clinical experiences are scheduled on weekends, the program also includes a 10-week
summer term with a full-time, Monday through Friday (40-hour) schedule to ensure students
gain the comprehensive knowledge and hands-on clinical experience required for graduation
requirements.
