XRay Vision is your superpower

A radiologic technologist, or radiographer, performs diagnostic medical imaging examinations. Radiologic technologists are healthcare professionals who adjust and maintain imaging equipment, prepare patients for various procedures, take medical histories, answer questions about any procedures and help patients feel at ease. Additionally, radiographers will sometimes work with physicians to evaluate images and to determine whether additional images need to be taken.

The C-SC Difference

You will earn your degree through a partnership with Blessing-Rieman College of Nursing & Health Sciences in Quincy, Ill. You complete general education courses and radiology prerequisite courses during the first year on the C-SC campus, then complete radiology courses as well as clinical experiences on the Blessing-Rieman College campus and at clinical affiliate sites for the next three years. You will complete more than 1,400 hours of clinical work.

Clinical rotations will be completed at:

  • Blessing Hospital
  • Hannibal Clinic
  • Hannibal Regional Hospital
  • Illini Community Hospital
  • Quincy Medical Group

Freshmen need:

  • 22 ACT/1100 SAT or higher, or pass the HESI Admissions Assessment (A2) exam (waived thru Spring 2023)

  • Completion of the following prerequisites: English Composition I, General Psychology, Anatomy & Physiology I and II, Lifespan Development

I dedicated long hours to both classroom learning and clinical training, which shaped me into the radiologic technologist I am today. Gaining hands-on experience across various settings prepared me to handle any situation, from routine exams to critical ER cases. This program is challenging but incredibly rewarding, and it thoroughly prepares you for whichever path you choose after graduation.
