Welcome to
Bachelor of Science in Radiologic Technology

The department name and the school’s name are both within the logo’s circle, representing balance, harmony, and togetherness. The color silver represents the cutting-edge diagnostic tools of modern medicine. Lying within the inner circle are the trefoil, a rod of Asclepius, and a book. The trefoil represents the activity of an atom or warning sign of ionizing radiation while the Rod of Asclepius belongs to Aesculapius, who was the revered Greek god of healing. The book is a powerful symbol for education growth and distribution of knowledge. These three depict how on the one hand, radiation is a valuable tool for research, medical diagnosis, and therapy; on the other hand, it serves as a warning that high levels of radiation exposure can increase the frequency or severity of various adverse health effects. The atom, magnet, and sonogram represent the medical imaging branches. The vibrant colors gold and orange represent strength and endurance, while black represents power.
