Associate in Science

Mission Statement: Creating competent, ethical, confident entry-level healthcare practitioners committed to professional development through life-long learning in a positive, non-discriminatory and supportive learning environment.

Application Procedure: To apply to the program, students must:

1. Have a valid FCCJ student number.
2. Satisfactorily complete all college preparatory courses needed.
3. Furnish proof of completion of a radiographic technology program, and proof of attainment of the ARRT credential.
4. Via student affairs, ensure they are degree-seeking and majoring in radiography (2254).
