Our program graduates students in December, so our annual report on these program effectiveness measures is posted in January of each year. Data for the most recent 5-year period (2013-2017) is listed below.
Program Completion Rate
The annual program completion rate is defined as the number of students who complete the program within 150% of the stated program length of 28 months. The program benchmark is 60% or greater; program start date is the date students are placed in the clinical education component.
| Year | Percent Completion | Number of Students |
|---|---|---|
| 2013 | 85% | 20 started, 17 graduated |
| 2014 | 60% | 20 started, 12 graduated |
| 2015 | 59% | 27 started, 16 graduated |
| 2016 | 56% | 25 started, 14 graduated |
| 2017 | 78% | 23 started, 18 graduated |
| 5-Year Average | 66.96 | 115 started, 77 graduated |
Credentialing Examination Pass Rate
Five-year average credentialing examination pass rate of 75% or greater at first attempt on the ARRT certification examination for radiography within six months of graduation.
| Year |
Percent Passing |
Number of Graduates |
|---|---|---|
| 2013 | 100% | 17 of 17 |
| 2014 | 100% | 12 of 12 |
| 2015 | 100% | 15 of 15 |
| 2016 | 93% | 14 of 15 |
| 2017 | 94% | 17 of 18 |
| Five-Year Average | 97.4% | 75 of 77 |
Job Placement Rate
Five-year average job placement rate of 75% or more within 12 months of graduation for graduates actively seeking employment in radiologic science. Graduate surveys were completed six months following graduation in 2012; beginning in 2013 the JRCERT changed the data collection period to 12 months following graduation.
| Year | Percent Job Placement | Number of Graduates |
|---|---|---|
| 2013 | 88% | 5 of 17 graduates actively seeking |
| 2014 | 90% | 9 of 10 graduates actively seeking |
| 2015 | 100% |
15 of 15 graduates actively seeking |
| 2016 | 100% | 14 of 14 graduates actively seeking |
| 2017 | 100% | 15 of 15 graduates actively seeking |
| Five-Year Average | 95.8% | 68 of 71 graduates reported actively employment |
The JRCERT has defined “not actively seeking employment” as:
- Graduate fails to communicate with program officials regarding employment status after multiple attempts OR
- Graduate is unwilling to seek employment that requires relocation OR
- Graduate is unwilling to accept employment due to salary or hours OR
- Graduate is on active military duty OR
- Graduate is continuing education.
