Radiography, AAS Health Sciences AHSP
The Radiography curriculum prepares the graduate to be a radiographer, a skilled health care professional who uses radiation to produce images of the human body.
Course work includes clinical rotations to area health care facilities, radiographic exposure, image processing, radiographic procedures, physics, pathology, patient care and management, radiation protection, quality assurance, anatomy and physiology, and radiobiology.
Graduates of accredited programs are eligible to apply to take the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists national examination for certification and registration as medical radiographers. Graduates may be employed in hospitals, clinics, physicians’ offices, medical laboratories, government agencies, and industry.

Program effectiveness data includes the program completion rate, credentialing examination pass rate and job placement rate. Explanations of these measures and program data that correspond with the annual report most recently submitted to the JRCERT are noted below. This information can also be obtained through the JRCERT Web Program Effectiveness Report. Questions about program effectiveness data should be directed to the Program Chair. The Radiography Associate Degree in Applied Science is approved by the North Carolina Community College System and is accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology. The Radiography Program was awarded the maximum length of an 8–year accreditation by the JRCERT. Learn more about the general program accreditation information and the current accreditation award letter.
Credentialing Examination Pass Rate – for radiography, radiation therapy, and magnetic resonance credentialing examination pass rate is defined as the number of student graduates who pass, on the first attempt, the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) examination or an unrestricted state licensing examination, compared with the number of graduates who take the examination within six months of graduation.
Exclusions:
- Radiography, radiation therapy, and magnetic resonance program graduates taking the examination greater than six months post-graduation must be excluded from the total number of graduates taking the examination as well as from the pass/fail rate calculation provided on the report.

Annual Program Completion Rate (PCR) – is defined as the number of students who complete the program within the stated program length compared with the number of students who initially started with the cohort.
- Programs are free to determine the entry point (e.g., required orientation date, final drop/add date, final date to drop with 100% tuition refund, official class roster date, etc.) used to calculate the number of students that began the program.
When calculating the total number of students enrolled in the program (denominator) programs need not consider students who attrite due to nonacademic reasons such as:
- Financial, medical/mental health, or family reasons
- Military deployment
- Change in major/course of study
- Other reasons an institution may classify as a nonacademic withdrawal
| Evaluation Year | Number of Students | Completion Rate |
|---|---|---|
| 2019 | 6 of 7 11 admitted 4 left for personal reasons 1 academic failure readmitted and graduated in 2020 |
86% |
| 2020 | 10 of 10 11 admitted 1 left for personal reasons |
100% |
| 2021 | 6 of 8 10 admitted 1 dismissed for unprofessional behavior 1 dismissed for academic dishonesty 2 academic failures 2 readmitted and graduated in 2022 |

Undocumented Immigrants
NOTE: Federal law prohibits states from granting professional licenses to undocumented immigrants (see NCCCS CC-13-019, 8 U.S.C. 1621(a) and (c)(1)(A) and SBCC Code 1DSBCCC 400.2(b)(5)). It is the current position of the North Carolina Attorney General that individuals with DACA classification are not eligible to receive in-state tuition. Students lawfully present in the United States shall have priority over any undocumented immigrant in any class or program of study when capacity limitations exist.
