Colorado Northwestern Community College (CNCC) is proud to announce the launch of its new Radiologic Technology Program, designed to provide students with the knowledge and hands-on experience necessary to pursue a successful career in medical imaging. This innovative program, beginning in the fall 2025 semester, will offer an Associate of Applied Science degree in Radiologic Technology, qualifying graduates to sit for national or state certification exams and begin working in the radiography field.

The Radiologic Technology Program at CNCC will be delivered over five semesters, including a summer semester dedicated to internships at healthcare facilities across Northwestern Colorado. Students will spend half of their time in the classroom, where they will engage in didactic coursework, and the other half gaining real-world experience at local healthcare organizations, where they will perform radiographic imaging procedures on actual patients.
“Radiologic Technology is an exciting career field that combines patient care skills with advancing technological practices. Those who graduate from the program will become a valuable member of a healthcare team by contributing to the treatment and evaluation of disease in the specialty of medical imaging,” said Jade Bruchez Radiologic Technology Program Lead Faculty.

“Embarking on a new Radiologic Technology program with CNCC is not just the beginning of a course of study, but the start of a journey where knowledge meets compassion, and science meets service. Here, we will equip the next generation of healthcare professionals with the tools and skills needed to succeed in this field and make a lasting impact in the world of medicine.” said Amanda Ott, Dean of Academics Craig Campus.
Graduates of CNCC’s Radiologic Technology Program will be eligible to earn national licensure through the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) exam or be eligible to take their state registry. This will allow students to practice as a licensed radiologic technologist in a variety of healthcare settings including large trauma facilities, small community hospitals and imaging centers to name a few.
