Radiography Major - Associate Degree
Deirdre Valinsky
Interim Program Director
Clinical Assistant Professor
The mission of the Radiography Program is derived from the mission of Sacred Heart University. The focus is education of radiographers who provide diagnostic services for the sick, injured, and marginalized. It provides a sound and stable educational environment where a diverse student population has the freedom to learn and grow intellectually, as well as develop competencies in clinical skills. Faculty members are qualified and caring teachers and radiography educators who are dedicated to excellence in radiography education, healthcare, life-long learning, and the mission of the College. The Program in Radiography establishes a technical educational foundation upon which students and radiography may continue to build their professional careers.
The Associate of Science in Radiography program is accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology (JRCERT). The program’s current length of accreditation is the maximum eight (8) years. JRCERT contact information is: 20 North Wacker Drive, Suite 2850, Chicago, IL 60606-3182, (312) 704-5300, mail@jrcert.org, www.jrcert.org.
The radiography curriculum is built upon a foundation drawn from the biological, physical, and social sciences as well as the humanities. Radiography courses include classroom, college laboratory, and clinical laboratory experiences. Graduates must successfully complete a minimum of 62 credits for the radiography major.
Progression Criteria:
- For students who take Anatomy & Physiology, and College Algebra at SHU, a grade of C+ or better must be earned to progress.
- For transfer students who took an equivalent Anatomy & Physiology course at a regionally accredited institution, those who earned a grade of B- or higher will be awarded transfer credit.
