Radiologic Technology - Associate of Applied Science
Doña Ana Community College
2024-2025 Catalog
(67-70 credits)
NOTE: To graduate, Radiologic Technology majors must earn a C- or better in all RADT courses; however, the students most likely to be competitive in the admissions process will have earned a B or better in their prerequisites. A grade of C- or better is required in ENGL 1110G Composition I and designated Mathematics courses.
Students must complete all University degree requirements, which include: General Education requirements and elective credits to total at least 66 credits. Developmental coursework will not count towards the degree requirements and/or elective credits, but may be needed in order to take the necessary English and Mathematics coursework. Note: The program is using variable credit until fall 2021 cohort graduates.
