The graduate of the associate degree program is eligible to take the national examination administered by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT). This examination satisfies the New York State licensure requirements. Candidates for examination must comply with the ARRT Standards of Ethics (https://www.arrt.org/pdfs/Governing-Documents/Standards-of-Ethics.pdf). Prior conviction under the law may jeopardize eligibility for examination. Further information about this issue may be obtained by contacting the department.
Many radiologic technologists are members of the American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT), the professional organization. Benefits include continuing education and a job bank. Technologists may also join their state society.
Graduates of the program are employed in major medical centers, imaging centers and medical offices throughout the metropolitan area and in many other locales. Many graduates pursue additional degrees or advanced specialty certifications such as mammography, magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography and cardiovascular imaging. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) the average starting salary for Radiologic Technologists is $61,540.
