Pre-Radiology

Western Wyoming Community College and Weber State University have entered into an articulation agreement which allows students interested in pursuing a degree in Radiologic Technology to take their prerequisite courses at Western and then complete the radiology courses through Weber. This program and study is equivalent in course content to the on-campus program at Weber. Weber’s outreach program allows students who are site bound an opportunity to complete the radiologic technology program. These students may continue to live in their own community and work on their degree. Students are required to travel to Weber once a month and are required to travel to various hospitals for clinical instruction. Students should apply to Weber early in their matriculation at WWCC and be assigned to a Weber advisor to make sure that they remain on track as they complete the WWCC coursework.
