BS in Radiography (Fast Track)

Learn to Provide Expert Diagnostic Information

In this program, you will develop the skill to capture essential information and help provide clarity in the diagnosis of disease. You’ll learn how to use ionizing radiation to create two-and three-dimensional X-rays and computed tomography (CT) images of tissue, organs, bones, and vessels. This fast-track program, which builds on your previous educational experience, takes place on our Boston campus over the course of 24 consecutive months. You’ll work alongside experts during clinical experiences in prestigious Boston area medical facilities and receive the benefit of an immersive education that prepares you to be a successful member of any healthcare team. When you graduate, you’ll be eligible to sit for certification by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists. The program begins in the summer..
