The Radiography Technology program trains students to take images of patients’ bodies using medical imaging equipment, such as X-ray, Fluoroscopy, and C-arm imaging.
Radiologic technologists provide medical providers the images needed to diagnose and treat injuries and diseases. In this program, students are instructed in classroom and laboratory settings to learn on-the-job skills, and then apply that knowledge in a clinical setting. Students will spend over 900 clinical hours completing 36 mandatory competencies, 15 elective competencies, and other requirements set by the ARRT.
Graduates of the Radiography Technology program are prepared to become ARRT licensed radiologic technologists, working in hospitals, clinics, and diagnostic imaging centers
UTAH SYSTEM OF HIGHER EDUCATION (USHE) DESCRIPTION:
In this program, students are instructed in the classroom and laboratory settings to learn on-the-job skills of being an x-ray tech, and then apply that knowledge in a clinical setting. Students will have the opportunity to gain experience in a variety of healthcare settings including – but not limited to – hospitals, urgent care, and family practice clinics. The experience you will gain at your clinical sites will put you on the path to a successful career as a Radiographic Technologist.

Coursework Requirements
Prerequisite courses are not offered at Mountainland Technical College (MTECH). Applicants must complete all prerequisite coursework at a regionally accredited, degree-granting college or university prior to applying. As a technical college, MTECH does not accept transfer credits or award degrees. We only require applicants to complete our prerequisite requirements to have their application eligible for consideration.
Online versions of the coursework requirements are accepted only if they are completed directly through a degree-granting college or university.
Degree and Coursework Deadline
Applicants may apply to the program while their degree and required anatomy and physiology coursework are still in progress. However, all academic requirements must be completed by the end of June of the application year. As part of the application, applicants must submit an unofficial electronic transcript showing that any outstanding degree or anatomy and physiology coursework is currently in progress.
X-Ray Job Shadowing Requirements
Mountainland Technical College (MTECH) does not arrange or provide shadowing opportunities. Applicants are responsible for contacting healthcare facilities directly to inquire about and arrange their own shadowing experiences.
Immunization Requirements
Accepted students will be required to provide proof of the following immunizations shortly after admission. It is strongly recommended that prospective applicants complete these immunizations before or during the application period.
The program receives 150 or more applications per application period. Applicants who have met the program prerequisites are not evaluated based on GPA. Applications are evaluated using a point system with an admissions rubric to guide the holistic selection of candidates. Interview invitations are extended based on the quality of the application essays and additional criteria, including job shadowing experience, medical education, medical employment/volunteer experience, background, communication skills, professionalism, and overall application quality.
See the Radiography Program Admissions Rubric
Approximately 25–30 applicants are invited to a first-round interview with MTECH faculty and administrators. From this group, a smaller number of applicants are invited to a second-round interview with clinical site representatives and other industry partners. Following the second-round interview, around 10–16 applicants are offered admission to the program based on their overall performance and a comprehensive holistic evaluation. A portion of applicants who have interviewed in the second round are placed on an alternate list for possible admission if positions become available. The program’s overall acceptance rate is around 9%.

Where are your clinical sites located, and how are they assigned to students?
Our clinical sites are located between Murray and Heber City. Clinical placements are determined by the Program Coordinator and the Clinical Site Instructor and Coordinator (CI), based on site availability and the needs of the program.
Each student will be assigned a primary clinical site for the duration of the program. As part of their training, students may also be required to rotate through affiliated hospitals, clinics, and urgent care centers associated with their assigned clinical site. Students should be prepared to travel to any location within the program’s designated service area to complete their clinical requirements.
