What classes are required to be an x-ray technician?

I am financially struggling and I need to make sure each class I take is applicable towards my degree. I am also curious about what courses I would need to take for CT and MRI. #Spring25

Depends on what school you go to. I was able to contact the school and coordinate with them to make sure I was taking the classes I needed. I did a 2 year program where you got a 4 year degree. You did your first two years anywhere and then transferred in.

The Xray track was 5 semesters; Fall, Spring, Summer, Fall, Spring. With more clinical hours each semester. If you wanted CT or MR you did an additional Summer semester and started taking different class than just xray the second Fall semester. Once you graduated you would be allowed to take both the Xray and your additional modality (CT or MR) tests.

There is also a state license that some states require, but if you pass the AART test that is usually just paperwork and a fee.
