Bachelor of Science in Radiologic Technology (BS)

Career Outlook

As the population grows older, there will be an increase in medical conditions, such as breaks and fractures caused by osteoporosis, which can require imaging performed by Radiologic Technologists to diagnose them. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics overall employment of radiologic and MRI technologists is projected to grow 13 % from 2016 to 2026, faster than the average for all occupations.

Most Radiologic Technologists work in healthcare facilities or hospitals.

Some areas that Radiologic Technologist majors enter:

• _{Radiologist (MD)}
• _Radiographer
• _{Radiology Technicians}
• _{Ultrasound Technicians/Diagnostic Medical Sonographer}
• _{MRI Technicians}
• _{CT Tech/ CAT Scan Technologist/ CT Scan Technologist}

Some Employment Opportunities for students who major in Radiologic Technology are:

• _Hospitals
