Program Start: 2027

Program Overview

Indian River State College offers several degrees and certificates that lead to professional licensure in the State of Florida. For radiographers, licensure requires successful completion of a recognized educational program and a passing score on the national certification exam administered by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT). Upon completion of this program, graduates are eligible to apply to sit for the ARRT certification examination. .

Licensure and Certification

Graduates of the Radiography program are eligible to take the ARRT national certification examination. The ARRT certification is recognized in all 50 states; however, some states—including New York and California—require additional certification or state-specific exams. If you plan to pursue licensure outside of Florida, please contact the appropriate state licensing agency to review specific state requirements.

Find state licensing information, contacts for state radiation control program offices and states that license or regulate by modality.
