MONROE, LA – The University of Louisiana Monroe Radiologic Technology program has received eight-year
accreditation status from the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology
(JRCERT.) Eight years is the maximum duration of accreditation awarded by JRCERT.
"The JRCERT accreditation tells the public and the communities of interest for medical
imaging that the program here at ULM is strong,” said Brett Bennett, Radiologic Technology
Program Director. “Students who graduate from this program can perform imaging at
a high level anywhere in the country," he added.
The continuing accreditation status of the ULM Radiologic Technology program was considered
at the February 21, 2023, meeting of the JRCERT. The program was evaluated according
to the Standards for an Accredited Educational Program in Radiography (2021). The
program documented compliance with all relevant standards and was granted the maximum
level of accreditation.
According to the award letter, the JRCERT is the only agency recognized by the United
States Department of Education (USDE) and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation
(CHEA) for the accreditation of traditional and distance delivery educational programs
in radiography, radiation therapy, magnetic resonance, and medical dosimetry. Specialized
accreditation awarded by the JRCERT offers institutions significant value by providing
peer evaluation and by assuring the public of quality professional education in the
radiologic sciences.
