Non-Traditional Program offers students who are military trained or who have previously attended a hospital-based training pro- gram the opportunity to obtain an associate of applied science in radiography through an acceler- ated program of study. Students who enter this learning option also have the opportunity to sit for the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) national cer- tification examination if needed. Eligible candidates are formally trained radiologic technologists who are currently employed in radiography with three years’ con- secutive experience. All candidates must meet the program prerequi- sites and related courses in the cur- riculum prior to acceptance into the accelerated program, as well as meet the admissions require- ments of Fayetteville Technical Community College.

uisite or related courses online through FTCC. Each accelerated course will be of- fered online with the exception of clinical courses. Candidates will have the oppor- tunity to take a proficiency test on the first day of the online course. With a passing score, the student will be given credit for that course. If the score is not passing, the student will proceed in completing the course online for eight weeks. Clinical courses will be assigned a “portfolio” for completion of the course requirements. Through the accelerated non-traditional option in radiography, candidates can
receive an associate degree in only one year. This accelerated program is designed to help candidates who are interested in continuing their education in a four-year baccalaureate degree program by allowing them an expedient way to complete their education quickly. Completing the associate degree at FTCC also helps students save on tuition costs, as tuition expenses at FTCC are less than those at four-year universities.
