The Yuba College Radiologic Technology Program accepts applicants once a year, in the Spring. The program is 22 months in length. Students, upon successful completion, will earn an Associate of Science (A.S.) degree.
Yuba College hosts a classroom in Marysville. A total of 25 to 30 students will be selected for the Marysville campus, regardless of whether they applied to the Redding campus. This includes 20 students for Marysville and 5 for Redding. While some courses are available via distance education, students in the Redding cohort will travel to Yuba College for the 3A and 3B positioning labs on Mondays during the first Fall and Spring semesters. All classes are held at Yuba College, as Redding is not a separate campus. Starting in 2023, 5 alternates will also be selected and will be held for admission; those not admitted for the current Fall semester will still have to apply for the program but will receive priority for admission the following Fall.
All accepted students and alternates must attend a mandatory orientation in May. In 2024, an all-day orientation will be held in May, replacing RT 55. Dates will be sent with conditional acceptance emails. Failure to attend the orientation will result in the retraction of the conditional acceptance letter.
Below is a list of courses, a brief description of the course, the semester it is taken, and the unit hours.
