Mansfield University Radiology Technology Associate Degree Program

Program Description

The Radiology Technology Program is a full-time, two-year AAS degree program.  It is one of several programs in the Mansfield University Department of Health Sciences and Physical Activities.  Students are on the Mansfield, PA campus the first semester.  The remaining three semesters and two summer sessions require clinical and classroom experience at the Robert Packer Hospital, Sayre, PA.

Radiology students are required to attend an orientation session at Robert Packer Hospital during the week immediately before the start of the regular spring semester.

When assigned to the Sayre campus, students complete up to 40 clinical/classroom hours per week.  The average daily times of attendance are from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Occasionally, attendance at a late afternoon class that extends beyond 4:00 p.m. and attendance at an evening class is required.  While the majority of courses are taught using traditional in-class instruction, some are completed via distance and online learning.

Clinical education includes extensive clinical experience at the Radiology Department of Robert Packer Hospital in Sayre, PA.  Students are routinely assigned to diagnostic areas and gain familiarity with specialty areas by completing a short clinical rotation within each modality.  During the second year, each student rotates through an evening clinical assignment that occurs from 5:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. 

Students are subject to the rules and regulations of both the university and medical center affiliate.

The Mansfield University Radiology Technology Program is accredited by:
