Courses

General education courses are those non-radiology, general topic courses you're expected to take: Math, Sciences, English, etc.
- These are offered during the day, evening, online, and on all campuses.
- These can be taken before you're accepted into the program, earlier than listed on the plan of study, or exactly as listed on the plan of study but must be finished with a "C" grade or better absolutely no later than the semester in which it is listed in the plan of study.
- These may require requisite courses to be completed, with a "C" or better; OR, they may be co-requisites for future general education courses.
Radiologic Science technical courses are those technical courses which start with the program codes, RAD and DMS (only for Cross Sectional Anatomy).
- These must be taken exactly in the semester they're listed in on the plan of study, no earlier and no later.
- They are only offered only at COTC Newark.
- The majority of Radiologic Science technical courses are delivered face-to-face.
- Most technical courses are offered only during the daytime.
COTC uses Canvas (Learning Management System) for all courses, even face-to-face courses for instructor announcements, posting of grades, course syllabus, and other activities. (You're already somewhat familiar with this system because you're using it right now!)

Radiologic Science Technology Clinical Rotations

Radiologic Science Technology is an applied science and hands on clinical education is an ongoing part of the curriculum. Students will be assigned to various clinical affiliates starting in the autumn semester of their first year. The main goals of clinical education are to:

1. Acquire proficiency in a wide variety of diagnostic radiologic processes by applying classroom theory to the actual practice of technical skills on specified levels of competency.
2. Develop and practice professional work habits and appropriate interpersonal relationships with patients, support personnel and other members of the healthcare team.

Clinical Rotation Schedule
1st rotation ------------------------------------------------------------ Semesters 1 & 2
2nd rotation ----------------------------------------------------------- Semester 3
3rd rotation ----------------------------------------------------------- Semesters 4 & 5
*Clinical rotations may vary based upon clinical competency needs to be evaluated and determined by the program faculty.
