Atlantic Cape Community College and the Shore Medical Center School of Radiologic Technology are celebrating another year of success as its graduating students from the Class of 2025 achieved a passing rate of 100% on the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) radiography exam and 100% job placement rate.
The New Jersey Radiologic Technology Board of Examiners recently released its program rankings according to average scores of all 15 radiology programs in the State of New Jersey.
The Shore Medical Center School of Radiologic Technology ranked second with an average ARRT score that was above both the State and national average. The ARRT exam is the gold standard in credentialing for medical imaging professionals, requiring rigorous knowledge in patient care, image acquisition, and equipment operation.
“Our students are willing to go that extra mile to do their best and the results are a reflection of their efforts,” said Program Director Kerry Raymond. “Shore Medical Center School of Radiologic Technology and Atlantic Cape Community College are dedicated to training professionals who not only meet the required standards, but exceed them, ensuring safety and excellence in patient care.”
Founded in 1992, Radiologic Technology is a cooperative program that meets the needs of students desiring certification and employment as a Radiologic Technologist. The ARRT requires students to have a minimum of an associate degree from an accredited institution, such as Atlantic Cape, for eligibility to take the ARRT certification examination. The program currently has more than 300 alumni.
The program is accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technologists (JRCERT) and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of X-ray Compliance (NJDEP), and is completed in two phases. The pre-professional phase of the program, which includes courses in general education, mathematics, and science, is completed at Atlantic Cape. The professional phase of the program, which includes the radiologic technology courses and clinical experiences, is completed at Shore Medical Center.
Upon having completed the required 68 college credits and receiving a certificate of all program requirements from SMCSRT, Atlantic Cape will grant an Associate in Applied Science degree.
