The College\u2019s Rad Tech graduates earn an Associate of Applied Science degree over two years (four semesters and two summer sessions). During this time, students rotate between 10-15 different clinics and hospitals in the Twin Cities area, including North Memorial Hospital. The variety of clinical sites allows students to work with real patients in every healthcare setting and situation\u2013from level-one trauma centers to geriatric hospitals\u2013before graduating. There are two graduating cohorts per year\u2013one in July and one in December.<\/p>\n
