One goal of the Strategic Plan approved in the fall by our Board of Directors is to grow TCC enrollment by expanding health sciences programs. As such, the approval process for an Associate of Applied Science in Radiographic Technology (Rad Tech) program is underway!

Generally, all new college program offerings must go through both state and national approvals to ensure rigor, efficacy, compliance with higher education standards, and alignment to professional competencies. At this juncture, the Ohio Department of Higher Education (ODHE) has approved the Rad Tech program, and the comprehensive Higher Learning Commission (HLC) application was submitted in March. We hope to receive feedback from HLC this month regarding required next steps.

If all goes according to plan, the goal is to begin enrolling students this summer for the Fall 2024 semester. A curriculum has been purchased and will be adapted to meet our students' needs, and we have collaborated with The Hospital Network to use existing equipment in the Medical Office Building. Due to clinical capacity, each cohort of the program will be limited to about 15 students. 

Stay tuned for more exciting information as we draw nearer to the Rad Tech program becoming a reality!
