Computed Tomography (CT) Online Certificate
The online Computed Tomography (CT) certificate is a one-semester program that qualifies students to sit for the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) CT certification exam.
Students can then complete a bachelor's degree with a CT emphasis at Weber State University with one or two additional semesters of coursework.
Many CT technologists are cross-trained on the job at their facilities rather than completing formal educational programs, which leaves a large population of professionals seeking structured education to meet ARRT eligibility requirements.
While numerous organizations now offer structured education to meet ARRT standards, WSU's program stands apart for its academic rigor, accreditation, and reputation for excellence in radiologic sciences. Additionally, national workforce shortages in CT imaging create an urgent need for accelerated, high-quality, and flexible educational pathways.
The certificate directly addresses barriers of time, geography, and cost by shortening the completion time and offering an online format, thereby increasing access and program reach across the US.
The accelerated format supports faster credential attainment and improved employability, enabling students to advance their careers while addressing workforce shortages in healthcare imaging.
