Jun 22, 2026
Newman University releases 'How to Become a Rad Tech' career guide, outlining the educational pathway from high school to ARRT certification through their five-semester Associate's degree program with extensive clinical training.
Wichita, United States, June 22, 2026 /PressCable/ -- Newman University has released a career guide titled 'How to Become a Rad Tech,' designed to help prospective students navigate the educational pathway from high school through American Registry of Radiologic Technologists certification. The resource addresses a critical information gap for individuals exploring this healthcare field. National employment data projects 15,400 annual openings for radiologic and MRI technologists through 2034, with steady 5% growth according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Over the past five years, every graduate from Newman's program secured employment, underscoring the robust demand for qualified professionals in medical imaging.

The guide highlights Newman's five-semester Associate's degree program, which requires between 1,200 to over 2,000 hours of clinical experience across a variety of sites spanning urban hospitals, mid-sized facilities, clinics, and rural settings throughout Kansas. Students must demonstrate clinical competence on real patients before graduation, ensuring mastery of skills ranging from emergency room imaging to fluoroscopy and operating room procedures. ARRT certification mandates completion of an ARRT-recognized educational program alongside ethics requirements and a certification exam. Newman's intensive clinical preparation provides essential groundwork for professional credentialing.
Newman's documented job placement rate over the last five years reflects both program quality and market need. Radiologic technologists in Kansas earned a median annual salary of $67,140 as of May 2023, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Clinical rotations function as extended interviews where employers assess work ethic and technical competence. Recent graduates have advanced directly into specialized modalities including CAT scan, cardiovascular imaging, MRI, and mammography, demonstrating the breadth of career trajectories available beyond entry-level positions.
Financial accessibility remains central to the guide's messaging. Newman students enrolled in the program may qualify for the Kansas Promise Scholarship, a state-funded last-dollar award covering tuition, fees, books, and supplies for Kansas residents. Eligibility requires a household income of $100,000 or less for a family of one or two; $150,000 or less for a family of three; or for household sizes above three, a household income equal to or less than the family of three amount plus $4,800 for each additional family member. Recipients commit to living and working in Kansas for two years post-graduation. The scholarship supplements institutional aid, reducing cost barriers for high school students and career-changers alike.
Applications open each January with a March 1st deadline. The program requires a college GPA of 2.75 or better, with prerequisite coursework passed with a 'C' or better. Interview appointments are assigned in April, after the application deadline, with the cohort beginning each fall. Clinical sites in Wichita provide geographic accessibility while exposing students to diverse patient populations and facility types, from large hospital systems to rural clinics reflective of Kansas's healthcare landscape.
The career guide positions Newman's program as a structured, evidence-based pathway for individuals seeking stable, well-compensated work in medical imaging. By detailing admissions timelines, financial aid mechanisms, clinical requirements, and certification prerequisites, the resource equips prospective technologists to make informed decisions aligned with their educational and professional goals.
