Temple College and McLennan Community College offer radiologic technology through a distance-learning partnership program. This two-year associate of applied science degree prepares students to become radiologic technologists whose primary role is to assist radiologists in the examination of patients for broken bones, ulcers, tumors, disease or malfunctions of organs within the body. Students learn the positioning, exposure, professional ethics, medical terminology, physics, procedures, and techniques of x-ray technology. Certified radiologic technologists may secure employment in hospitals, clinics, and other health care agencies.

Students completing the program are eligible to apply for admission to the certification exam administered by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT). This program is accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology.

If developmental courses are needed to meet the Texas Success Initiative requirements, it is recommended such courses be completed before enrolling in the program.
