Radiography - Program Effectiveness Data

Programmatic accreditation is very important to the Johnston Community College Radiography Program because not only does it ensure program effectiveness, but it also evaluates program integrity. Accreditation maintains to our students that our program is meeting the appropriate standards in order to meet their educational needs. The Johnston Community College Radiography Program is accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology. The program currently maintains an 8 year accreditation.
