A radiologic technologist (also called medical radiation technologist, radiation science technologist, or radiographer) performs imaging of the human body for diagnosis or treating medical problems. Specialty areas include x-ray, MRI, ultrasound, CT, nuclear medicine, bone densitometry, mammography, angiography, and cardiovascular interventional radiology. There are several options a student can pursue in radiography – see our Program Information Guide below. Learn more about this career.

Acceptance into a radiological program is competitive and not guaranteed. Admission is based on GPA, test scores, recommendation letters, an interview, essay, shadowing and medical experience, and other extra-curricular activities. Our dedicated advisors will guide and equip students to excel in these areas. In addition, smaller class sizes, top faculty, and unique learning experiences such as research opportunities will give you an advantage. UNK students in the pre-radiological technology program have a phenomenal acceptance rate showcasing our commitment to excellence.
The University of Nebraska at Kearney is affiliated with six schools of radiography.
Rural Nebraska students pursuing pre-radiological technology may be eligible for the KHOP Program at UNK.
"My education has been truly well-rounded. I was unsure of what I wanted to do before switching to Radiologic Technology, so I took a plethora of classes to see where my interests lie. The Health Sciences Department has been one of the greatest support services to me since changing my major. My advising processes have run flawlessly. I feel thoroughly prepared for the next stage in my life."
