The LPT program is offered each semester and will certify you to sit for the Limited Practical Technologist exam through ARRT, which will allow you to begin working in the field.
Those most likely to benefit from our LPT program are students who are trying to gain a better understanding of the profession and whether this career fits their future goals.
Students who are LPT certified will receive additional points when applying for the WSU Radiography program.
No clinical education or hospital experience is provided during the program.
The LPT program includes four courses (8 credit hours). Courses must be taken all together in the same semester.
A fifth course is offered and is optional. RADT 1022: Intro to Radiologic Technology (2 credits). If you choose to take this course it will satisfy the course requirement for the Limited Radiographer Certificate of Proficiency, Associates of Applied Science in Radiography and the Associate of Science in Health Sciences - Radiologic Track.
Please note that RADT 1022 is not offered as a part of the LPT courses in the summers.
Please view the Spring 2021 LPT Flyer for class times and information on how to register.
