Program Effectiveness Data:
The following is the most current program effectiveness data. Our programmatic accreditation agency, the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology (JRCERT), defines and publishes this information. Go directly to the JRCERT webpage.
Credentialing Examination: The number of students who pass, on the first attempt, the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) certification examination, or an unrestricted state licensing examination, compared with the number of graduates who take the examination within six months of graduation. The five-year average benchmark established by the JRCERT is 75%.
Credentialing Examination Rate | Number passed on 1st attempt divided by number attempted within 6 months of graduation |
---|---|
Year | Results |
Year 1 - 2019 | 37 of 53 - 70% |
Year 2 - 2020 | 16 of 29 - 55% |
Year 3 - 2021 | 39 of 55 - 71% |
Year 4 - 2022 | 17 of 32 - 53% |
Year 5 - 2023 | 39 of 46 - 85% |
Program 5-Year Average | 148 of 215 - 69% |
Job Placement: The number of graduates employed in the radiologic sciences compared to the number of graduates actively seeking employment in the radiologic sciences within twelve months of graduating. The five-year average benchmark established by the JRCERT is 75%.
Job Placement Rate | Number employed divided by number actively seeking employment within 12 months of graduation |
---|---|
