Radiography (B.S.)
SCAN TO VIEW THE CURRICULUM FOR THIS MAJOR
Radiography is an allied health profession that employs X-radiation to produce images of the human body. The B.S. in Radiography at USF is a “2+2 program.” This means participating students will complete two years of liberal and pre-professional science education courses at USF before applying for admission to a professional program at Swedish American UW Health in Rockford, Illinois, or Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago. Admission to the professional education component is controlled by the sponsoring hospitals. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reports that the median national annual wage for radiologic technologists, also known as radiographers, was $61,980 in 2021. According to the BLS, there will be a projected six percent rise in employment for radiographers between 2021 and 2031, which is as fast as the average occupation. At the University of St. Francis, students benefit from small, intimate classes where they can work closely with professors. Most importantly, USF prepares students for successful careers in radiography and the allied health professions.
