The Radiologic Technology Program at Greenville Technical College is a 1 + 1 program, consisting of Phase I and Phase II. Phase I is comprised of eight (8) general education courses which must be successfully completed prior to consideration for acceptance into Phase II. Phase II is the professional component of the program. The curriculum has been developed to meet the requirements of the American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT). It is also designed so that students are adequately prepared for the national certification exam and are capable of functioning as entry-level radiographers upon graduation.

Phase I
Courses required in Phase I can be completed either on a part-time basis or full-time basis. They may be taken in any format offered by the college. This includes traditional classroom, telecourse, teleclass, or online. Students are required to earn a minimum grade of "C" in all Phase I courses and to achieve a minimum technical GPA of 2.50. This must be achieved without repeating a course more than one time. The technical GPA is calculated based upon the grades earned in the eight (8) required general education courses only. It does not include any other grades earned in courses taken at Greenville Technical College or any other college. Required biology courses must be completed no more than five years prior to the beginning of Phase I.

Phase II
Phase II is a five semester, full-time, day program. However, there are some evening and weekend clinical requirements throughout the program. Students participate in approximately 1400 hours of clinical experience and are assigned to many different types of clinical sites. They include a trauma center, community hospitals, an out-patient imaging center, orthopedic offices, and other physicians' practices. This provides our students with a wide-variety of hands-on experience. Transportation to the clinical assignments is the responsibility of the student.
