Radiography Major
Radiographers are health care providers who use ionizing radiation to produce quality diagnostic images. There are many general staff radiography employment opportunities, as well as advanced positions based on education and training.
Program Objectives
Upon completion of the Radiography major, graduates will:
- be clinically competent
- successfully utilize critical thinking and problem solving skills in the radiographic healthcare environment
- adequately practice effective communication skills in the clinical practice
- demonstrate ethical behavior and values, which promotes professional growth
- meet the needs of the healthcare community
Special Opportunities
Radiography majors complete two years of course work at York College and clinical rotations in radiography during the final two years. During the student's sophomore year, they will apply for clinical education, such as WellSpan's twenty-three-month radiography program. Clinical education acceptance is not guaranteed; it is suggested that students maintain a 2.5 or greater GPA within courses to be competitive for clinical rotations. The student spends their junior and senior year at their assigned clinical education site.
