Radiologic Technology

Associate of Science Degree

Overview

The Radiologic Technology Program is a five-semester program offering an Associate of Science Degree. Students are educated in radiography equipment operations, production and evaluation of diagnostic radiographic images, patient care skills, radiation safety, and communication with healthcare professionals and the public.

The program includes didactic, laboratory, and clinical education and prepares students for entry-level imaging positions. Upon completion, graduates are eligible for the national certification exam offered by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT).

ARRT certification provides eligibility for licensure in Massachusetts. Graduates can be employed by hospitals, clinics, imaging centers, orthopedic/physician offices, mobile imaging companies, and pain management centers.

There is no minimum score requirement, but remember that the score is part of the selection process. So, the higher the score, the more points earned toward acceptance.

18. Is there a limit to the number of times I can take the TEAS?

The TEAS may be taken three times per academic year, with 30 days between each attempt. All testing must occur in person. If not taken on a Quincy College campus, an official copy of the score must be received from ATI Testing. This may require an additional fee from ATI Testing.

19. Are there any other requirements once I submit my application?

Yes. You will need to submit official high school & college (if applicable) transcripts and TEAS scores to the Admissions Office by the October 1st deadline.

20. How will I be notified of program acceptance/admittance?

You will be notified by email. You will receive a notification of standing approximately 2 weeks after the deadline date. You will receive one of three notifications: acceptance, alternate, or not accepted. The notification is sent to the email address provided on your application. Be sure to keep your records updated.

21. If I meet the “Admission Requirements,” will I be in the Radiologic Technology Program?

No. Admission is competitive; all applicants are ranked. Those applicants with the highest scores will be at the top of the list. Refer to the Ranking Sheet.

Your health records will not be submitted until AFTER admission to the program. Instructions will accompany your acceptance letter.

23. May I register for RAD courses before health requirements are met?

No. You can register for any general education courses but not the RAD courses.

24. I don’t have the money for all the health requirements. Why does Quincy College require so many?

The clinical affiliates have certain requirements to guarantee the health and safety of their patients. Students must meet those stipulations to attend the clinical settings for their education. These requirements will be necessary for anyone in the healthcare field while in school and later during employment.

25. May I deliver my transcripts by hand?

Yes. Hand-delivered transcripts must be sealed, stamped “OFFICIAL,” and delivered to the Admissions Office at President’s Place on the Quincy Campus. If the transcripts are opened or appear tampered with, they will not be accepted.

Curriculum

The Radiologic Technology Program accepts students each fall semester and classes start in the following spring semester. Students attend lecture, lab, and clinical courses for five consecutive semesters. All lecture and lab courses take place on the Quincy Campus in Saville Hall. The Program includes one online course, RAD 111 Introduction to Radiography. This course does require an in-person proctored final exam.

Radiologic-Technology-Semester-Path

Graduates earn an Associate of Science Degree in Radiologic Technology. Graduation requirements can be found in the Quincy College Policy Manual – Policies 5.01 and 5.02.

Students must maintain a minimum of a “C+” or higher in all RAD courses to progress through the program. A minimum grade of “C” must be achieved in all required general education courses. The College grading system is utilized. (The grading system can be found in the Quincy College Policy Manual on page 136, Policy 5.07.)

Clinical Obligations

Clinical assignments will occur primarily during the day (between the hours of 7:00 a.m. – 4:45 p.m.) Monday through Friday. Some evening and weekend rotations may be available at some clinical sites. Students will not be assigned to a clinical site during holidays observed by Quincy College or during semester breaks in which the College is formally closed. Students will not be assigned to medical imaging departments in which immediate relatives (spouses, siblings, parents, and children) are employed. If a student has relatives employed in other departments of the clinical affiliate, the assignment will be at the discretion of the program faculty. All clinical assignments are made by the Clinical Coordinator.

Because the clinical affiliates are in various cities, students must maintain reliable transportation during the program. The following is a list of clinical affiliates:

  • Atrius Health – Braintree / Kenmore
  • Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center – Boston
  • Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital – Needham
  • Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital – Plymouth
  • Brigham & Women’s Hospital – Boston / Chestnut Hill / Foxborough

  • New England Baptist – Boston / Chestnut Hill / Dedham
