The National Security Agency and the Department of Homeland Security have reaffirmed St. Philip’s College as a National Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense Two-Year Education. This designation covers academic years 2014 through 2020.
The Radiography Program is accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology. Graduates of the Program will be able to sit for the National Certification Examination, the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (A.R.R.T.). After successful completion of this exam, the individual will become a Certified Radiographer R.T.(R). Developmental courses must be completed prior to enrolling in RT courses. Students must be able to meet and maintain all technical standards (Job Functions) of the R.T. Program (see program director for details). A combined cumulative 2.8 GPA is required from all colleges and universities attended; together with three (3) academic curriculum college-level courses completed at the time of application submission. Failure to successfully complete any RT course with a “C” or above will prohibit progression in the Radiography Program.

Within 28 calendar days of graduation the student may apply to the Texas Department of Health for an Medical Radiologic Technologist (M.R.T.) certification to practice in the state of Texas. Graduation and certifications are separate mechanisms and are the responsibility of the individual student.
