Mercy College of Health Sciences (Des Moines, Iowa) and Mount Carmel College of Nursing (Columbus, Ohio) are proud to announce their collaboration on an accredited Associate of Science in Radiologic Technology program.
Beginning in May of 2026, students will complete asynchronous online coursework through Mercy College, attend in-person hands-on skills labs at Mount Carmel College of Nursing in Columbus, and have clinical experiences at Mount Carmel Health System and our collaborative community affiliates. The program is an extension of Mercy College’s program that is accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology (JRCERT). Graduates located in Ohio will be prepared to sit for the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) certification exam and meet licensure standards for practice in Ohio.
