See RCC’s course catalogue for a full description of courses. College Biology is prerequisite to A & P I at RCC; RCC students may opt to take a challenge exam administered by the Science Department for exemption of prerequisite courses. Radiologic Technology (HLT) courses are sequential. The successful completion of all HLT courses offered in one semester is pre-requisite to registering for courses the following semester. The program requires a specific admission exam (TEAS exam) as part of the radiologic technology admissions criteria. Pre-requisite course work should be completed or in the process of completion prior to taking this exam. This exam can be taken only once in a given year period.
