The Radiologic Technology Program at Massasoit was established out of a need for radiographers during a time when there was a national shortage of them. With the strong support of the nine original clinical education centers and college officials, the college accepted its first class in the fall of 1988. Since the program's first graduation in 1990 over 450 students have successfully completed and graduated from the program. Some of our students have continued their education by attending modality schools in ultrasound, radiation therapy, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Nuclear Medicine. Some graduates have chosen to work in mammography, computerized tomography (CT), portable radiology or densitometry. A current Radiologic Technology faculty member is also a graduate from the program.

The program is accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiology Technology. Graduates of our program have successfully passed the national certification examination and have found employment in various hospitals, clinics, for portable companies, and private physicians' offices.
