Greensboro College’s Combined Degree in Radiological Technology
This and other related information also can be found in the section of the Greensboro College Catalog that describes the biology curriculum.
Greensboro College (GC) has a combined degree program in affiliation with the RT programs at the Moses Cone Memorial Hospital and at Wilkes Regional Medical Center.
The Combined Degree program in Radiological Technology awards the B.S. degree in Biology/Allied Health to students who…
- complete required coursework at GC (requires about two years)
- complete the two-year clinical hospital program (after application and acceptance, which is not guaranteed)
- pass the RT certification exam offered soon after the clinical program is completed.
All prospective students interested in this degree should have taken high school courses in biology and chemistry and gotten at least a “C” in these courses (high school physics also is highly recommended).
The two years of coursework at GC include the complete core of liberal arts (General Education) courses for the B. S. degree (13 courses), 5 biology courses, and 1 physics course.
Combined degree students can apply to enter a clinical program by the November before they complete their college coursework. There is no guarantee of admission to the clinical programs at the hospitals. These clinical programs have limited enrollments (10-15 spaces/year) and have become quite selective.
These clinical training programs also are very rigorous, but the background obtained at GC helps Rad Techs successfully complete the program.
The credit from the clinical section is obtained only after successfully completing the 2-year clinical training AND after passing the RT certification (ARRT registry) exam.
Prospective students who have already completed a RT clinical program, and who have also passed the certification exam, will attend the College and complete the required liberal arts and biology courses prior to receiving the combined degree.
It is possible to apply directly to the 2-year clinical programs at Moses Cone (336-832-7628) and at Wilkes (336-651-8431), but you will not receive a bachelor's degree from these programs alone.
