I know of a few people who have taken on line course and they seem to be doing well. They fit it into their schedule with doing homework and all. You will have to discipline yourself to actually sitting down and doing the assignments and all. I am studying Radiology Tech and i hate to tell u. There are no on line course for it. You have to register for it. U can take the basic class. Psychology, Math, English but you can’t do the Biology or Anatomy and Phys on line it’s a on hands course.

I would steer clear of any online, for profit schools such as university of phoenix, strayer, kaplan, capella as they are merely out to make a profit. I’m not sure that there are too many online programs for radiography as it seems that one would need hands-on experience with how to position patients and such. Just fyi, most have to take ‘technical physics’ as part of the x-ray tech curriculum. (I’m terrible at math so that would be a concern of mine
Former students of online school university of phoenix started this site: http://www.uopsucks.com
Please stick with traditional colleges, regardless of the program of interest, and most offer certain online courses — US colleges: http://www.utexas.edu/world/univ
For general career info: http://www.bls.gov/oco and search ‘radiologic technologists’ or such.

I think it would be a better idea to check with a community college in your area has such a course of study.

You can’t become a radiologic technologist online. However, after you do become one, you can go back to school online to get your bachelors degree, because the rest of the classes are general, not radiology-related.
Accredited radiologic technology schools are generally 40 hours per week for 2 years and require a very big commitment. You can find accredited schools here: http://arrt.org/index.html?content=http://www.arrt.org/nd/listOfSchools.ndm/listSchools&iframe=yes
