Learn how to assist in diagnosing illnesses through x-rays and other diagnostic imaging procedures with a Radiography Associate of Applied Science degree from Montco. Our credit program is held at Blue Bell Campus's, state-of-the-art Health Sciences Center.

Although more than 60 percent of all radiography jobs are in hospitals, you can also work in physician’s offices, medical and diagnostic laboratories, including diagnostic imaging centers, and outpatient care centers. Employment of radiologic technologists is expected to increase 15 percent in the next decade–faster than average for all occupations.

Additional information on advanced placement, tuition and fees, student employment, transfer credits and credit for life experience, withdrawals and refunds can be obtained by contacting Enrollment Services at enrollmentservices@mc3.edu. Check the academic calendar for program dates.
