Western Wyoming Community College and Weber State University have entered into an articulation agreement which allows students interested in pursuing a degree in Radiologic Technology to take their prerequisite courses at Western and then complete the radiology courses through Weber. The Associate of Science degree with an emphasis in Pre-Radiology will fulfill the prerequisite requirements for the Radiologic Technology program at Weber. Students should apply to Weber and their Radiology program in the fall of their sophomore year.
