Radiology tech programs in North Carolina

15 radiology tech programs with costs, results and funding that can make them free

15 schools offer these radiologic technology programs, and North Carolina has approved every one for workforce funding. Each shows its price if you pay yourself and how past students did.

Radiologic technologists take X-rays and other imaging scans of patients. Most have an associate degree, some a bachelor's, and most states require a license or certification, which usually means finishing an accredited program and passing a certification exam.1 The usual route to certification by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) takes an associate degree or higher, an ARRT-approved program and a passed exam.2

In North Carolina, 10 of the 15 programs ask for a high school diploma or equivalent and 5 ask for earlier courses first.

By kind, the 15 programs here are radiography (associate degree, 13 programs) and x-ray program (level not stated, 2 programs).

How to pay for radiology tech programs in North Carolina

WIOA funding can pay for radiology tech programs in North Carolina

Every program on this page is approved for it. Whether you qualify, how much your local area pays and how to apply are on our page Does WIOA pay for job training?

Financial aid and grants for radiology tech programs

Most students can get federal student aid for college, career school or trade school. A Federal Pell Grant, unlike a loan, usually doesn't have to be repaid. Ask the school whether its program qualifies.78

GI Bill for radiology tech programs

Where the North Carolina radiologic technology program numbers come from

Which North Carolina radiologic technology programs are on this list?

These are the radiologic technology programs North Carolina approved for WIOA funding (public workforce funding under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act), as reported to the US Department of Labor for program year 2024 (July 2024 to June 2025). Each state keeps its approved programs on an eligible training provider list (ETPL).10 The list here covers programs approved as of June 30, 2025. Schools that never applied for approval are missing, so this is a part of what North Carolina offers.

How the prices and results of North Carolina radiologic technology programs are measured

Prices are tuition and required fees for someone paying without workforce funding, as the school reported them; check the current price with the school. Results describe students who left each program in recent years, so they are no guarantee, and the yearly earnings are the reported quarter times four, an estimate. A program without a "Trained with WIOA funding" line may still take WIOA students. Where a field was left empty or withheld, the page says "Not reported", and "Left out" where a figure was filed but failed one of our checks; nothing is estimated to fill a gap. Where the numbers come from explains each figure in full.
