Program Description

The Radiologic Technology Program is a cooperative effort between Marshall Community and Technical College and St. Mary’s Hospital or Collins Career Center. Among the required Pre-Radiologic Admission courses, at least 12 of the 26 credits must be completed at Marshall Community and Technical College. The student should complete MAT 145, SCI 110, AH 151, and BSC 227 before application to either the St. Mary’s or the Collins program model. The student may either complete the remainder of the Marshall Community and Technical College courses prior to application to either program model or complete the courses after completing the Radiologic Technology coursework.

The training program at St. Mary’s School of Radiologic Technology and Collins Career Center consists of 24 months of class work and clinical experience. The program provides the students with a total of 600 classroom hours and 3,300 hours of clinical experience. All new students are evaluated after their first two months with the program. If a student’s class work or clinical experience is unsatisfactory, the school will request that the student withdraw from the program at that time.
