Radiologic science program among best in nation

According to EduMed.org’s rankings, East Tennessee State University’s online Bachelor of Science degree in radiologic science ranks third in the country of the “Best Online Radiology Tech Programs for 2023.”

“ETSU’s College of Clinical and Rehabilitative Health Sciences is a hub for some of the nation’s fastest-growing health care professions, including radiography,” said Dr. A. Lynn Williams, Interim Dean of the college. “In order to meet workforce needs, it is imperative that our programs provide high-quality and convenient options for students who want to pursue these in-demand fields. Our 100-percent online radiography program does just that.”

The ETSU online radiologic science degree completion program is designed for working radiologic professionals with an Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree in radiography science. This online Bachelor of Science offers the opportunity for radiographers to obtain their B.S. degree by using more of their AAS hours than would normally transfer to a fouryear institution.

In addition to the online degree completion program, ETSU offers the radiologic science program to students in an on-ground format.

For the past six years, ETSU’s program has boasted a 100-percent job placement rate.

Various career opportunities are available with this degree. Many graduates further their education and specialize to obtain positions working in CT, MRI, radiation therapy, mammography, nuclear medicine, sonography, and interventional radiography.
