Computed Tomography (CT)
Computed Tomography (CT) is an x-ray imaging technique that uses a computer to produce images of the body to show detailed anatomy and pathology.
Applicants for the CT program must be currently certified as an ARRT registered radiologic technologist, an ARRT or NMTCB registered nuclear medicine technologist, or an ARRT registered radiation therapist.
International students who are interested in the program are advised to apply to Kent State University first: https://www.kent.edu/admissions/apply.
The CT program consists of didactic and clinical components. The didactic component is 100% online. The clinical component is completed at a healthcare facility to meet the ARRT clinical requirements required for eligibility to sit for the certification exam in MRI.
The CT program has two pathway options:
1. The Certificate Program offers CT-specific coursework that fulfills the ARRT structured education requirements and prepares the student for the ARRT national certification exam. Courses are offered in 2 semesters (fall and spring) with an optional review course and clinical experience offered in summer.
Students who pursue the certificate program can use those completed courses to toward the BRIT degree.
2. The Bachelor Degree Program offers CT-specific coursework that fulfills the ARRT structured education requirements and prepares the student for the ARRT national certification exam. Additional courses as well as the completion of Kent Core courses is required for completion of the degree (120 credit hours total). CT and supporting courses are offered in 3 semesters (fall, spring, and summer).
Clinical experience has two options:
1. Those currently working in CT can complete clinical requirements during paid time at their place of employment.
2. Those who are not currently working in CT will complete clinical requirements at an affiliated healthcare facility during unpaid time (at their place of employment or elsewhere).
