The Associate of Science in Radiologic Technology degree prepares students for careers as radiologic technologists and radiographers. Radiographers are highly skilled professionals who perform X-ray procedures to assist in diagnosing and treating medical
conditions. LSUA students are prepared for a variety of employment opportunities inside hospitals, surgery centers, private offices, imaging centers, and urgent care centers. Students may also choose to go into commercial sales, education or management.
Upon graduation, students are prepared to complete the National Certification Examination administered by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists.
LSUA is regionally accredited through SACSCOC, which is an approved accrediting
body by The American Registry of Radiologic Technologist (ARRT).
LSUA’s Radiologic Technology program’s vision is to educate every student in the fundamental concepts of radiographic positioning, patient care, radiation safety, and radiation physics in order to sit for the National Certification Examination administered by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) and employment in the radiographic technology field.
LSUA’s Radiologic Technology program’s mission is to equip future healthcare professionals with comprehensive knowledge and hands-on skills in radiologic technology through rigorous academic training and clinical experience. We aim to prepare students to become adept technologists and compassionate caregivers, upholding ethical practices, technological proficiency, and professional integrity.
