Program Details

BS in Radiologic Technology Program

GMercyU’s 2+2 Radiologic Technology program is the standard degree path followed by most GMercyU Radiologic Technology majors. During the first two years, 你将完成一个强大的文科基础的通识教育要求. At the beginning of year two, you’ll work with your Campus Coordinator and apply to at least three of GMercyU’s affiliated radiologic technologist programs. 学生必须申请并被接受参加附属课程.

Your third and fourth years will be spent on-site at the affiliate radiologic technology program and their clinical education sites, 全日制学习课堂和临床课程. You’ll also work with your Campus Coordinator to register for all corresponding GMercyU courses to continue to build your transcript toward graduation. This full-time, 40小时/周的日间课程至少包括一个夏天, possibly two, 所以当你在大四的五月毕业时, 你很有可能在八月毕业前完成毕业要求. (请注意,八月或十二月没有毕业典礼.)

为了满足您的特定需求,GMercyU还提供以下两种专业学位选择.

放射技术完成课程(反向学士)

If you’re already ARRT-certified after attending a radiology school and passing the ARRT Examination in Radiography, 你可以为你的放射技术教育获得多达62个学分. You will just complete the remaining general education and liberal arts course requirements to earn your BS in radiologic technology from GMercyU.

如果你已经在其他学院或放射学校完成了大学课程, 你可能有资格转换额外的学分, 但你必须在GMercyU修满至少45个学分. 该学位可以全日制或非全日制完成, 有一些课程可以在晚上或网上学习.


Thomas Jefferson University放射科学学士(合作协议)

如果你对多能力训练感兴趣, you can pursue two areas of competency through a special articulation agreement that we have with Thomas Jefferson University’s radiology programs. Options include radiography, computed tomography (CT), MRI, 一般超声(超声)和血管超声.

这是一个非常挑剔的项目,需要额外的先决条件, 所以如果你想申请的话,需要提前计划. If accepted to Jefferson, you’ll transfer for your last two years (or slightly longer) and earn a Bachelor’s of Science in Radiologic Sciences from Thomas Jefferson University.

Earning a four-year radiology degree at GMercyU can enhance your value to employers and may offer better job opportunities and security. You’ll gain real-life experience through program completion at one of GMercyU’s Radiologic Technology affiliate programs:

  • 爱因斯坦医学中心放射技术学院
  • 约克/WellSpan医学中心放射技术学院
  • Crozer-Chester医学中心/Widener大学放射技术学院
  • 首都卫生放射技术学院(Trenton, NJ)
  • Shore医学中心放射技术学院(Somers Point, NJ)
  • 费城放射技术学院St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children

学生必须申请并被接受参加附属课程.

JCERT Accreditation

 

我们所有的放射技术附属项目都是由美国放射学会认证的 放射技术教育联合检讨委员会 (JRCERT).

 

作为GMercyU放射技术专业的学生,您还将:

  • Access the clinical training and education of a radiologic technology program (once accepted) while still earning credit towards a bachelor’s degree and maintaining eligibility for federal financial aid through GMercyU. 请注意:所有GMercyU奖学金, grants, 由于学费较低,在附属项目中不会继续获得优异奖. 学生仍然可以继续向FAFSA申请联邦援助. (Please see VA Tuition)
  • 向经验丰富的全职教师学习(没有助教)!). GMercyU低至10:1的师生比例意味着个性化的关注, support, and mentorship from faculty. 我们的附属放射技术学校提供同样的体验, 包括小班授课和该领域的专家教师.
  • 通过获得入门级以上的学位,在劳动力竞争中获得优势, associate's degree required.
  • 从校园协调员那里获得额外的支持和建议.

放射技术学校的毕业生在放射学方面有坚实的教育基础, 但是需要额外的培训和认证, 你可以在先进的成像模式下工作,包括计算机断层扫描(CT)。, mammography, interventional imaging, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), 介入放射学和骨密度测定. 

The mission of the Radiologic Technology Program is an expression of the mission of Gwynedd-Mercy University and the Frances M. 马奎尔护理与卫生专业学院. 学术课程提供科学专业前的课程, liberal arts, and humanities which allow a student to complete the junior and senior year of professional education at an approved School of Radiologic Technology and at career entry, 能熟练完成所有的影像学检查并通过国家注册考试. The Radiologic Technology program combines education for professional competency with the Mercy tradition of service to society.

The mission of the Radiologic Technology program reflects the mission of the University in assuring that the student has a strong background in the sciences, liberal arts, and humanities, that the student is clinically competent and possesses the qualities and abilities expected of a Gwynedd Mercy University graduate.

放射技术是一个不断变化的领域. 跟上技术的步伐是令人兴奋的,但也具有挑战性, and so to earn a radiology degree, 你应该有…的学术背景, and aptitude for, math and science.

这是除了通识教育要求外你还需要完成的课程.
