Radiography Program

The Associate in Applied Science (AAS) in Radiography is designed to enable students to gain

entry level employment in the healthcare setting and work as a radiographer.  In this program,

Students learn to capture images of patients’ internal organs, soft tissues, and bone using X-ray

equipment.  You would be prepared to assist a radiologist with a range of procedures, such as

fluoroscopic imaging or gastrointestinal exams that require the use of contrast media. 

Radiographers also assist in the operating room in a variety of vascular, orthopedic, and

neurological surgeries.  These learned competencies will help a student succeed in the

workforce.

The Radiography program helps students develop a general knowledge of radiography services

to attain an entry level position in the field of radiography.  The program will provide the

imaging skills required to perform duties as a radiologic technologist. The Radiography Program

is offered through a partnership between Bay College and the Michigan Workforce Training and

Education Collaborative (MWTEC). Educational Programs in Collaboration (EPiC) consortium for

the purpose of sharing instructional resources to offer healthcare program. Each college enrolls

students in the program under the college’s admission criteria and each awards the degree

according to that college’s requirements. All EPiC Consortium Radiography program partners

are accredited by the Higher Learning Commission. Upon completion of the program, the

students will complete the ARRT Radiography Certification exam (www.arrt.org).

Students may further enhance their employability options by completing an additional

certification in Computed Tomography (CT). MRI, mammography, bone density (DEXA), and

interventional radiography are additional career paths as well that can be obtained through

additional schooling or on the job training.
