• Board Certification

  To meet the educational requirements of the American Registry for Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) primary pathway for the national board certification examination, applicants must successfully complete an ARRT-approved educational program in the same discipline as the credential they are pursuing AND earn an associate's degree or higher. 

   

  OSU-OKC’s Radiologic Technology program is an ARRT approved educational program and offers an Associate of Applied Science academic degree. Upon successful completion of the OSU-OKC Radiologic Technology program, graduates are immediately eligible to sit for their national board examination through the ARRT.

   

  After graduation, applicants may make three attempts within three years to pass the ARRT certification and registration examination. The three-year period begins with the starting date of the applicant’s first attempt at taking the ARRT exam. After three unsuccessful exam attempts or three years—whichever comes first—the applicant’s eligibility ends.

   

  If an applicant fails an ARRT exam three times within three years, to regain eligibility to reapply for a primary pathway certification and registration, applicants must re-enroll in the same or a similar educational program or pursue a post-primary pathway.
