Hello, I am currently looking for a radiology school. I have found plenty but I need help determining which schools are accredited. Do schools have to be accredited by JRCERT? I found a school (St. Petersburg College) which is accredited by Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS). Is this okay? I just dont want to pick the wrong school! Any advice would be greatly appreciated! thank you.

To be acceptable to the ARRT (which is our national certfying agency), a Radiography program must be accredited by one of the following: JRCERT, the Austrailian Institute of Radiography, the Cojoint Accreditation Services of the Canadian Medical Association or Regional Institutional Accrediting Agencies. And I'm not sure what that last one covers.

To find a program that has already been accredited by a body approved by the ARRT, look on the ARRT website - they list accredited school in alpha order by state. Look here: http://www.arrt.org/index.html?content=http://www.arrt.org/nd/listOfSchools.ndm/listSchools&iframe=yes

Good luck
