ASSOCIATE IN APPLIED ARTS AND SCIENCE DEGREE

Honors Degree option available

Nursing Dept. 810-989-5675

The Associate of Arts and Science degree in Radiologic Technology is a cooperative effort between St. Clair County Community College and radiologic technology schools with which SC4 has a current articulation agreement (Port Huron Hospital and William Beaumont Hospital). The degree program combines occupation specific courses from a certified radiologic technology training facility with the general education courses and specific support courses offered through SC4. At least 33 credits must be completed through SC4.

NOTE: Admission to a certified radiologic technology school and credentialing as a radiologic technologist are separate processes from enrollment in the SC4 degree program. SC4 offers courses that may meet the Radiologic Technology admission prerequisites and also those listed below which lead to the AAS degree. Students seeking the SC4 AAS degree in Radiologic Technology may enroll before, after, or concurrent with their hospital based radiologic technology program. Students interested in Radiologic Technology are advised to contact a representative of the participating radiologic technology schools and meet with an SC4 advisor for information on the SC4 courses and degree option.
