Radiologic Technology

Radiologic technologists assist physicians by producing quality medical images of the human body for diagnostic purposes. Mount Mary College offers the radiologic technology major in consortium with the Radiology Alliance which includes Froedtert Hospital and Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare.

This four-year program awards graduates a Bachelor of Science degree in radiologic technology. During the first two years of the program students complete general education courses and prerequisites for the major at Mount Mary's campus.

Students must apply to one of the Radiology Alliance partnership programs. Students accepted into the radiologic technology major continue their final two years of study at one of the three hospitals in the alliance.
