Wisconsin Lutheran College

Programme overview

WLC’s radiologic technology major is delivered as a two plus two pathway: students complete the first two years on WLC’s campus and then move into the final two years of structured classroom and clinical education at a partnered hospital. Affiliates include Froedtert and the Medical College of Wisconsin (located across from campus) and hospital-based schools such as Aurora St. Luke’s, Ascension - All Saints, and Ascension - St. Joseph. The program leads to a Bachelor of Science in Radiologic Technology and prepares graduates for eligibility for certification as a Registered Technologist - Radiographer (RT(R)).

What you'll study

The curriculum blends a liberal-arts and science foundation at WLC with intensive hospital-based classroom and clinical rotations at an affiliate. Course work and supervised clinical experiences focus on diagnostic imaging practices using radiation and other modalities, image quality evaluation, patient care and safety during imaging procedures, and professional collaboration with other medical providers.

Entry requirements

Students begin with two years of prerequisite and major coursework at Wisconsin Lutheran College before placement into one of the partner hospital programs for the final two years. Admission to an affiliate program is required to complete the clinical portion; students should consult WLC advising for specific prerequisite and application details.

Career prospects

Graduates enter clinical imaging roles performing diagnostic exams with X‑ray, CT and MRI equipment, assessing image quality, ensuring patient safety and comfort, and coordinating with physicians and other care team members. The program is aimed at meeting employer expectations for technologists who hold a bachelor’s degree and prepares students for registration as RT(R).

Scholarships & funding angle

Students studying allied health at WLC benefit from small-campus advising and career-exploration resources to locate scholarships, work-study, and financial-aid opportunities. Prospective applicants should contact WLC’s financial aid office and departmental advisors to learn about program-specific funding and affiliate-related support options.
