Additional Program Effectiveness Data

Our programmatic accreditation agency, the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology (JRCERT), defines and publishes this information.

Credentialing Examination: The number of students who pass, on the first attempt, the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) certification examination, or an unrestricted state licensing examination, compared with the number of graduates who take the examination within six months of graduation. The five-year average benchmark established by the JRCERT is 75%.

Credentialing Examination Rate Number Passed on 1st Attempt Divided by Number Attempted Within 6 Months of Graduation
Year Results
Year 1 - 2017 19 of 19 - 100%
Year 2 - 2018 17 of 17 - 100%
Year 3 - 2019 18 of 18 - 100%
Year 4 - 2020 16 of 17 - 94%
Year 5 - 2021 20 of 22 - 90.9%
Program 5-Year Average 90 of 93 - 97%

Job Placement: The number of graduates employed in the radiologic sciences compared to the number of graduates actively seeking employment in the radiologic sciences within twelve months of graduating. The five-year average benchmark established by the JRCERT is 75%.

Job Placement Rate Number Employed Divided by Number Actively Seeking Employment Within 12 Months of Graduation
Year Results
Year 1 - 2017 7 of 7 - 100%
Year 2 - 2018 11 of 11 - 100%
