The Radiologic Technology Program will lead to an
Associate Degree in Applied Science and is designed for immediate

University, Monmouth University, Hahnemann University, Thomas
Jefferson University, Georgian Court College, Johns
Hopkins University, and Seton Hall University.
College
laboratory and clinical laboratory experiences are integrated into
the curriculum so that BCC Radiologic Technology students are
prepared at an entry level in their field. Students have the
opportunity to practice skills in the laboratory and then apply
these skills to patient care in a hospital setting.

Criminal History Background Checks
Clinical agencies mandate criminal history checks for all
individuals engaged in patient care, and all students must undergo
criminal history background checks. These checks are conducted by an
external vendor, and the information is sent to the College and to
clinical agencies. Agency personnel will evaluate the information
they receive and, in their sole discretion, make the final
determination as to each student's ability to continue to engage in
patient care in their agency. If a student is denied clinical
placement by any clinical agency due to criminal history
information, that student will be dropped from the program.
