The Post-Primary CT Certificate Program admits students twice a year -
in May for part-time track only, or in August for full-time track only.
This Professional Certificate Program is mapped out from admission to
graduation and leads to a Certificate in Computed Tomography.
Official transcripts from ALL colleges previously attended to receive your
Associate of Science degree (or equivalent) AND Professional Radiologic
Science Program Certificate/degree (if different), and those courses “in
progress” for completing prerequisite requirements. A minimum GPA
of 2.5 in a Radiography program and grades of “C” or better
are required to continue with the application to this Post-Primary Professional Program.
Proof of current LSRTBE (Louisiana State Radiologic Technology Board of
Examiners) License, current ARRT in Radiography, and current CPR (Cardiopulmonary
Resuscitation) BLS (Basic Life Support) certification. All must be in
good standing and will be verified with the credentialing organizations.
Any additional Imaging Science or healthcare certifications, licenses,
or accolades are beneficial but not required.
Letters of community service, volunteer/work history in the medical field,
or letters of support or recommendation for Post-Primary Education continuance
or history of academic performance if desired.
Letter of intent to complete the necessary clinical component and request
for times and which portion of the semester would work best for you. (Because
our clinical shifts will vary to ensure all students are able to complete
necessary scans, please indicate the plan that is best for your schedule
to complete these course requirements.)
The School of Radiologic Technology Admissions and Selections Committee
determines selection. Selection is based on the review and verification
of the completed information required to be submitted. Preference is given
to previous BRG professional program graduates, but this is NOT guaranteed,
especially if the Admissions Committee feels that the candidate is not
adequately prepared or suited for this program.

Title IV Funding Requirements
Consistent with revised United States Department of Education (USDE) regulations,
the USDE requires that programs that participate in Title IV federal funding
must disclose if the programs’ educational requirements meet the
states’ professional licensure or certification requirements. JRCERT
records identify the radiography program sponsored by Baton Rouge General
Medical Center as participating in Title IV federal funding and the JRCERT
serves as the program’s gatekeeper. There are two types of disclosure
required by the USDE.
General Disclosure requires posting information that includes state by
state determination that the program fulfills educational requirements
for licensure or certification in that state. The information on the Chart
and the program’s website has been verified by the JRCERT and the
program as of November 2, 2020.
The requirement for Direct Disclosure communications will be to individual
students who are enrolled in or are considering enrolling in a program
that will lead to licensure or certification. The Direct Disclosure must
indicate whether the student’s chosen program (Baton Rouge General
School of Radiologic Technology) does in fact fulfill the educational
requirements for state licensure or certification within the student’s
state of residence as presented on 11/2/2020. The USDE requires that this
disclosure be in writing and may be provided electronically. BRG SORT
accomplishes this annually in the student’s acceptance letter acknowledging
that as of the date of the acceptance letter the program fulfills the
educational requirements for state licensure or certification within the
student’s state of residence; the statement posted to the admissions
section of the website; in the Program’s Brochure- in print at the
office, emailed, or posted to the website; and emailed and printed in
letter form to the current students of BRG SORT. Any further questions
regarding this should be directed to Jaclyn Peters, BRG SORT Program Director
via email
Jaclyn.Peters@brgeneral.org or in writing mailed to 3616 North Blvd., Baton Rouge, LA 70806
