Program Overview

Keiser University's Associate of Science degree in Radiologic Technology provides both an educational and clinical foundation for students entering the medical imaging field. The program prepares students to produce diagnostic radiographic images following the standardized practices and procedures established by the radiologic sciences community, while developing the critical-thinking, communication, and technical skills necessary for competent entry-level practice.

Coursework combines classroom and laboratory instruction with extensive supervised clinical practice at affiliated healthcare facilities throughout Florida. Students learn medical terminology, patient care and positioning, radiographic procedures, radiation physics and biology, radiation protection and safety, equipment operation, and image production and evaluation. The curriculum is sequential, with each course serving as a prerequisite for the next, so students build competency in a structured progression from foundational sciences through advanced imaging.

Graduates are prepared to work as entry-level radiologic technologists (radiographers) and to pursue national certification and state licensure. The program emphasizes radiation safety, professional and ethical behavior, and patient-centered care so that graduates can step confidently into hospital and outpatient imaging settings.

What sets this Program apart

  • Extensive hands-on clinical training at affiliated healthcare facilities across Florida
  • Faculty with years of professional experience in the radiologic sciences
  • Multiple JRCERT-accredited Florida campus locations
  • Sequential curriculum design in which each course builds on the last
  • Year-round enrollment with flexible start dates
  • Curriculum aligned to prepare graduates for ARRT national certification and Florida state licensure
  • Keiser's one-class-at-a-time model with small class sizes and a roughly 14:1 student-to-faculty ratio

Program Schedule

The program totals 90 credit hours and takes approximately 24 months of full-time study, delivered across roughly six semesters and about 25 courses. Following Keiser's signature model, students take one class at a time in accelerated four-week terms, with new classes starting every month. Coursework is delivered on campus, as the program requires in-person laboratory work and clinical rotations.

Clinical education is a major component: students complete supervised rotations at affiliated hospitals and imaging centers, typically on a 40-hour weekly schedule that may include day, evening, and weekend assignments. Students are responsible for clinical-related expenses such as travel and site-specific requirements. Because the curriculum is sequential and clinical, students must meet minimum grade and GPA standards (including a cumulative 3.0 GPA before entering the core) to progress through the program.

New cohorts start regularly throughout the year. Our start dates are as follows:
  • September 28th, 2026
  • October 26th, 2026
  • November 23rd, 2026
  • January 11th, 2027
  • February 08th, 2027
  • March 08th, 2027

  • June 07th, 2027
  • July 05th, 2027
  • August 02nd, 2027

Curriculum

The curriculum blends general education (including Human Anatomy & Physiology I & II, English Composition, Algebra, and Psychology) with a sequential radiologic technology core spanning imaging science, radiographic procedures, radiation protection, patient care, and multiple clinical rotations.

What to expect as a Keiser University student

Expect a structured, sequential program that moves one class at a time through foundational sciences into advanced imaging and clinical practice. Classroom and lab instruction is paired from early on with supervised clinical rotations, so you will spend substantial time in real healthcare environments learning patient positioning, radiation protection, and diagnostic image production alongside experienced technologists.

Because this is a clinical health-sciences program, you should plan for rigorous progression standards (minimum "C" grades and a cumulative 3.0 GPA before the core), a demanding clinical schedule that can include day, evening, and weekend hours, and health and safety prerequisites such as background checks, drug screening, immunizations, CPR certification, and HIPAA/OSHA training. Clinical assignments may be at geographically dispersed facilities, and students cover their own travel and related costs.
