Important Degree and Transfer Information

Radiologic Technology: Associate of Applied Science 
Upon completing the program, you’ll earn an Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree in Radiologic Technology. This accredited, hospital-based training program spans 23 months, offering both hands-on and classroom education. 

The program is led by a specialized physician at the UCHealth School of Radiologic Technology – Memorial Hospital program, who also serves as a full-time radiologist. The school’s faculty consists of professional radiology staff, ensuring you receive a comprehensive education in radiologic techniques. You’ll study basic sciences and gain practical experience by rotating through all sections of the radiology department under the supervision of the program director. 

Note: We accept credits from other institutions to fulfill the prerequisites for the Radiologic Technology program. However, students must complete 15 credit hours at PPSC to be eligible to receive the degree. 

Degree Requirements 
Please refer to the Degree Requirements Packet for detailed information. 

Planning for a Bachelor’s Degree 
PPSC has an agreement with UCCS for students to transfer and complete a bachelor’s degree. With an AAS from PPSC, you can smoothly transition to UCCS for further education. Be sure to speak to an advisor for guidance on your transfer process. 

Criminal Background Check 
All students applying to the UCHealth School of Radiologic Technology – Memorial Hospital program will undergo a background check, which is at the student’s expense. Be aware that any findings in your background check could affect your eligibility to take the ARRT certification exam. It’s recommended to submit a pre-application to the ARRT Ethics Review Committee for review before enrolling.
