How do I become licensed as a Radiologic Technologist in my state?

Most states require state licensure in order to work as a radiologic technologist, and聽.

Many, but not all, states use exam scores from the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) and/or ARRT credentials to make licensing decisions. Some states also ask the ARRT to administer exams for state licensing purposes. It is generally in your best interest to pursue credentials through the ARRT as well as pursuing state licensure, as it helps you stand out in the radiology profession. Be sure to review your individual state requirements to determine what works best for you.

What are the educational requirements for state licensure in radiology?

As of January 1, 2015, the ARRT requires certification candidates to have earned an associate degree or higher from an accredited institution in order to sit for the national board registry exam for licensure. This requirement extends to graduates of schools of radiology.

Can I enroll in this bachelor鈥檚 degree program even if I do not yet have a Radiology or Radiography Certificate?

Students currently enrolled in or planning to begin a Radiography program accredited by an agency acceptable to the ARRT may enroll in the required general education courses at 色虎视频, either through the Associate of Science in Radiologic Science Administration (ASRSA) program or the Bachelor of Science in Radiologic Science Administration (BSRSA) program.
