School of Radiography

Our mission 

Through excellence in education and a quality-focused environment, we provide our healthcare community with competent and compassionate radiographers.  

The School of Radiography is a hospital-based radiography program sponsored by UW Health SwedishAmerican Hospital in Rockford, Ill. This is a certificate program.

Articulation agreement

Our school holds a formal affiliation agreement with the University of St. Francis in Joliet, Ill. This curricular track is in a 2+2 format, meaning a student will take 2 years of prerequisites (USF and UW Health requirements) and then 2 years of radiography courses at UW Health SwedishAmerican Hospital in Rockford. Upon completion of the 2 years at the School of Radiography, a student will be eligible for the ARRT certification in Radiography and will also earn a baccalaureate degree from the University of St. Francis.
