St. Louis Bachelor’s Degree in Radiologic Technology (BS)
*On-campus format will require some online classes for degree completion.
This 106 credit-hour degree program is part of a joint affiliation with Mercy Hospital St. Louis - School of Radiologic Technology. Students will confer a degree through a combination of program coursework at Lindenwood and Mercy.
This St. Louis radiologic degree program includes professional training from a clinical school that is accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology, sponsored by the American Medical Association. The first two years of this radiologic technology program are taught by Lindenwood faculty at Â鶹ÊÓƵ¹ÙÍø, consisting of program prerequisites and general education courses, totaling 65 credits. The last two years of the program are taught by Mercy's Radiography faculty and consist of 60 credit-hours. Students will have to apply to Mercy's program during their second year in the program for admission into the clinical portion of the degree. There is currently no guarantee of acceptance into Mercy's program, as this is a competitive program that has limited seats.
Core program curriculum requirements will include human anatomy and physiology, medical terminology, radiologic technology, and more. Students in this degree program will have the opportunity to work with real patients and use the latest medical technology, including ultrasound, nuclear radiation, magnetic fields, and X-rays, giving students experiences they need to be skilled radiographers that can confidently perform imaging examinations and accompanying responsibilities on demand.
Upon completion of all degree program requirements, students will be eligible to sit for their American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) certification exam and start their career as a radiographer.
