Because the radiology program is a limited enrollment program, only 16 students enter the program each year.
As a result, competition for selection is quite fierce. Applicants that have completed all or most of the
recommended core courses as listed below, with a grade point average of approximately 3.0 or higher, by the
end of the spring semester in the year in which they intend to apply to the program, will be more likely to earn
the points necessary to be invited to participate in the next step in program student selection. ALL REQUIRED
CLASSES FOR THE RADIOLOGIC TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM MUST BE COMPLETED WITH A GRADE
OF “C” OR BETTER. Classes that transfer to OC from another college or university that are below a
“C” will not be accepted by the Odessa College Radiologic Technology Program.
The faculty of the Radiologic Technology Program believes the students within this program
will become an integral part of the community at large as well as care givers within the medical
community. These students must possess not only technical skills, but also excellent
interpersonal communication skills. These skills will enable them to work effectively and
efficiently with administrations, physicians, co-workers, and patients within the medical
community and will prepare them for leadership roles within the community at large.
