The Radiography Program at Washtenaw Community College is accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology (JRCERT). In compliance with the JRCERT Standards for an Accredited Educational Program in Radiography, the Program's Effectiveness Data (credentialing examination pass rate, job placement rate, and program completion rate) must be made available to perspective students and the general public. The following are program effectiveness data for the Washtenaw Community College Radiography Program.
Program completion rate is defined as the number of students who complete the program within the stated program length. When calculating the total number of students enrolled in the program (denominator), programs need not consider students who attrite due to nonacademic reasons such as: 1) financial, medical/mental health, or family reasons, 2) military deployment, 3) a change in major/course of study, and/or 4) other reasons an institution may classify as a nonacademic withdrawal.
