The UAA Radiologic Technology Program is a 70-credit Associate of Applied Science degree program. The program takes approximately three years of full-time enrollment to complete-- one year of prerequisite courses and two years of radiologic technology courses. The admittance process is competitive due to the limited number of positions available for each class. Completion of the admission requirements does not guarantee selection into the Radiologic Technology full-major program.
