A fully accredited associate degree program since 1970

"I am very happy to be associated with the Cañada College Radiologic Technology Program. As a graduate of the program in 1979, I was well prepared for an immediate full time position. Twenty-two years later, as a hospital Radiology Department manager making hiring decisions, I appreciate the diversified training experiences and educational level of the college-based technologists. The Cañada College Program strives to provide an excellent didactic and clinical experience while making efforts to meet the individual needs of students in the Bay Area."
