Program Information

The two-year Associate of Applied Science degree program begins in June each year which coincides with the beginning of the P.R.C.C. summer semester.

The first semester of the program consists of classroom instruction only.  Upon completion of this session, the clinical phase will begin with rotation through each diagnostic room, darkroom, etc.  There will be clinical assignments on weekend and night shifts as deemed necessary by program officials.

Shifts will include the evening, 3 p.m. to 11 p.m., as well as 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. shifts to take advantage of patient availability at these times.  During the second year of training, students will be rotated through the specialty areas to allow insight into their options after graduation.

Maximum class size is limited to 20 students per year.
