Goodwin University in East Hartford announced the launch of a new Radiography associate degree program to address the rising demand for skilled professionals in medical imaging. The program prepares students for essential healthcare careers as radiologic technologists, licensed professionals who perform diagnostic imaging procedures critical to identifying and treating a range of medical conditions.

"We are thrilled to introduce the Radiography associate degree at Goodwin University,” said Goodwin University President Mark E. Scheinberg.  “Diagnostic imaging is essential to today's healthcare system, and this program will prepare students to enter a high-demand field with the skills and confidence they need to make a meaningful impact on patient care."

Combining classroom instruction, hands-on lab work, and clinical rotations, the program equips graduates to sit for the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) certification exam. Students benefit from flexible learning options, including online prerequisite coursework and day or evening class schedules designed to support working adults and caregivers.

Radiographers are in high demand across hospitals, outpatient clinics, and private practices. In Connecticut, an aging population and workforce challenges have increased patient volumes and wait times, making the need for qualified imaging professionals especially urgent.

Goodwin’s program features small class sizes, direct clinical placements, and advancement pathways into its bachelor’s degree in Health Science.

"Our Radiography program is designed with students in mind,” said  University Provost Michael Pardales.  “We look forward to welcoming the first class of future radiologic technologists and supporting them as they begin rewarding careers in medical imaging."
