Why PCC?

The PCC Radiologic Technology faculty has more 70 years of combined experience in the field. Our faculty members are trained teachers with program expertise and all faculty and instructors are registered through the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists. Some faculty members have additional registries in the areas of mammography, bone densitometry and quality control.
 
The energized lab on the Pueblo campus has the same current technology that is being used in the field. You will be trained on a state-of-the-art digital radiography system that will prepare you for your clinical internships and career in radiography.

PCC's Radiologic Technology BAS Degree Completion Program is one of only two medical imaging bachelor’s programs in Colorado.
