There is currently a [nationwide shortage of professionals](https://radiologyed.org/prospects/) working in the field of radiologic technology. While the demand for x-ray technologists has remained steady or grown slightly in most parts of the country, the number of available practitioners has decreased.

([Leer esta información en español](https://radiologyed.org/es/arizona/))

Although the number of technologists has declined at a slightly slower rate in Arizona than in the rest of the country, the state is still a great place to pursue this career. The shrinking field means that current graduates in radiology technology are more likely to find a well-paying job upon earning their degree.

## Accredited Radiology Tech Programs in Arizona: 2026 Guide

Arizona has ten JRCERT-accredited radiography programs spread across the state, from Yuma near the Mexican border to Prescott Valley in the central highlands. That geographic spread matters: clinical training sites range from rural critical-access hospitals in Bisbee and Springerville to major academic medical centers like Banner University Medical Center in Tucson and Mayo Clinic’s Phoenix campus. If you are planning a career as a radiologic technologist, the program you choose will shape where you train, what equipment you use, and how prepared you are for the ARRT certification exam on graduation day.

## Arizona Radiology Tech Salaries: What the Data Shows

According to BLS May 2025 OEWS data, Arizona employs 4,670 radiologic technologists and technicians (SOC 29-2034). The median annual wage is $89,200, with a mean of $90,020. Entry-level earners at the 10th percentile bring in $61,510, while experienced techs at the 90th percentile earn $123,410. The 25th-to-75th percentile range runs from $74,960 to $106,920, which gives a realistic picture of mid-career earnings in this state.

Career advancement into MRI moves the numbers higher. Arizona’s MRI technologists (SOC 29-2035) number 730 statewide, with a median wage of $100,600 per BLS May 2025 OEWS data. The 10th percentile starts at $81,380, meaning even newer MRI techs in Arizona typically out-earn mid-career general rad techs. At the top end, the 90th percentile reaches $123,040. The practical takeaway: completing an ARRT-certified radiography program and then pursuing an MRI advanced certification is one of the clearest salary progression paths in allied health in this state.

### Cost of Living Context

Phoenix’s cost of living index sits measurably below Los Angeles and Seattle, though it has risen over the past several years. Tucson remains more affordable than the Phoenix metro. A median rad tech wage of $89,200 in Yuma, where housing costs are among the lowest in the state, translates to more purchasing power than the same salary in Scottsdale. Factor location into your program search: a program based in a lower-cost city may serve your long-term finances as well as one in the metro even if the metro offers more clinical variety.

## Arizona Licensing Requirements for Radiologic Technologists

Arizona requires radiologic technologists to hold a state-issued permit from the Arizona Radiation Regulatory Agency (ARRA) before practicing independently. The standard pathway requires graduation from a JRCERT-accredited program and a passing score on the ARRT Radiography examination. Applications go to the ARRA, which issues permits in categories including radiography, fluoroscopy, and computed tomography. [VERIFY: current ARRA application fee and renewal cycle from arra.az.gov]

Continuing education is required for permit renewal. Arizona follows ARRT’s 24-credit-hour CE requirement over a two-year cycle for primary-pathway permit holders. Techs who add advanced modalities such as CT or MRI must complete the corresponding ARRT post-primary certification and notify the ARRA of credential updates.

One practical note: Arizona does not automatically recognize licenses from other states through reciprocity. Techs relocating from California, Texas, or elsewhere must apply directly to the ARRA and meet Arizona’s current requirements at the time of application.

## What to Look for in an Arizona Radiology Tech Program

### ARRT Exam Pass Rate

The ARRT Radiography exam is the gateway credential in this field. Arizona programs in this list range from 69% to 98% pass rates. That is a 29-percentage-point spread. A lower pass rate does not automatically disqualify a program, but it warrants direct questions: How many graduates sat for the exam in the most recent reporting year? What resources does the program provide for exam preparation? Does it use ARRT practice banks, structured review sessions, or third-party prep materials? Programs with high pass rates typically structure ARRT prep throughout the curriculum, not just in a final-semester cram course.

### Clinical Hours and Site Diversity

JRCERT requires a minimum of 1,500 clinical hours for radiography programs. Arizona programs generally meet or exceed this threshold, but the type of clinical experience varies significantly. A student training exclusively at outpatient imaging centers will see a different patient mix than one rotating through a Level I trauma center or a VA hospital. Review each program’s clinical site list. Programs with pediatric hospital rotations (Phoenix Children’s appears in GateWay, Pima Medical Institute-Mesa, Yavapai, and Pima Medical Institute-Tucson networks) give students exposure to positioning adaptations and dose considerations that outpatient-only training cannot replicate. VA sites offer experience with older patient populations and government healthcare documentation systems.

### Program Length and Scheduling

Most Arizona programs run 22 to 24 months. Arizona Western College’s 22-month program and Pima Medical Institute Online’s 20-month program are the shortest. Two months does not sound like much, but it can matter if you are managing financial aid timelines or working part-time. Arizona Western’s evening and weekend options are the only alternative scheduling format among brick-and-mortar Arizona programs, making it the clearest option for students who cannot attend a standard daytime program.

### Accreditation Cycle Length

JRCERT awards accreditation in cycles. Eight of the ten Arizona programs hold 8-year accreditation, which reflects consistent program quality over multiple review cycles. Eastern Arizona College currently holds a 3-year accreditation. Prospective students should contact the program to understand the current accreditation status and any corrective actions underway. JRCERT’s public database is the authoritative source for real-time accreditation status.

### Tuition vs. Outcomes

Arizona’s community college programs (Arizona Western, Central Arizona, Eastern Arizona, GateWay, Yavapai, and Mohave) all have resident tuition under $7,000 for the full program. The Pima Medical Institute campuses charge $20,000 to $25,000 or more. Central Arizona College charges $5,675 and posts a 93% ARRT pass rate and 100% placement. Pima Medical Institute-Mesa charges $25,234 and posts an 80% pass rate and 91% placement. Cost and outcomes do not move in the same direction here. Run the numbers before assuming a higher tuition signals a better program.

### Geographic Fit and Post-Graduation Employment

Arizona’s healthcare employment is concentrated in the Phoenix and Tucson metros, but rural hospitals in Kingman, Show Low, Safford, and Sierra Vista do hire and often face persistent vacancies. If you plan to stay in a specific region, choose a program whose clinical network maps to local employers. Mohave College graduates who train at Kingman Regional and Valley View Medical Center are hiring prospects those same facilities know by name.

## Program Length, Clinical Hours, and ARRT Exam Preparation

All JRCERT-accredited radiography programs must meet minimum didactic and clinical standards set by the organization. For radiography, that includes a minimum of 1,500 competency-verified clinical hours across required examinations in areas such as chest, abdomen, extremities, spine, and fluoroscopy-assisted procedures. Programs must also demonstrate that graduates are prepared to sit for the ARRT examination.

The ARRT Radiography exam covers five content areas: radiation protection, equipment operation and quality control, image production, procedures, and patient care. Expect exam prep to occupy a significant share of your final semester. Programs with higher pass rates generally integrate registry-style questions into coursework from the first year rather than treating exam prep as a separate end-stage event.

Clinical competency in Arizona programs typically requires students to demonstrate proficiency on a defined list of mandatory and elective radiographic procedures before graduation. Ask any program you are considering: How many mandatory procedures are required? How are competencies evaluated and what happens if a student fails a competency check? What is the program’s formal ARRT prep curriculum?

## Frequently Asked Questions About Arizona Radiology Tech Programs

### How long does it take to become a radiology tech in Arizona?

Most JRCERT-accredited radiography programs in Arizona run 22 to 24 months. The shortest option is Pima Medical Institute Online at 20 months. After completing the program, you must pass the ARRT Radiography exam and apply for an Arizona Radiation Regulatory Agency permit before practicing. Total time from program start to full licensure is typically under two and a half years.

### Do I need a license to work as a radiology tech in Arizona?

Yes. Arizona requires a permit issued by the Arizona Radiation Regulatory Agency (ARRA). The standard requirement is graduation from a JRCERT-accredited program and a passing ARRT exam score. You cannot legally practice as a radiologic technologist in Arizona without this permit.

### What is the average radiology tech salary in Arizona?

According to BLS May 2025 OEWS data, the median annual wage for radiologic technologists and technicians in Arizona is $89,200. The 25th percentile earns $74,960 and the 75th percentile earns $106,920. MRI technologists in the state earn a median of $100,600.

### Which Arizona radiology tech program has the best ARRT pass rate?

Among programs with reported data, [Pima Community College](https://pima.edu/academics-programs/degrees-certificates/health-sciences/radiologic-technology/aas/index.html) in Tucson has the highest ARRT exam pass rate in the state at 98%.

### What is JRCERT accreditation and why does it matter?

JRCERT stands for the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology. It is the national accrediting body for radiography, radiation therapy, magnetic resonance, and medical dosimetry programs. Graduating from a JRCERT-accredited program is a requirement to sit for the ARRT certification exam in most imaging modalities. Without ARRT certification, you cannot obtain an Arizona ARRA permit. Every program listed on this page is JRCERT-accredited.

### What is the difference between a radiologic technologist and an MRI technologist in Arizona?

A radiologic technologist (rad tech) uses X-ray-based imaging: plain film, fluoroscopy, and in many settings, CT. An MRI technologist specializes in magnetic resonance imaging, which uses no ionizing radiation. In Arizona, MRI techs earn a median of $100,600 versus $89,200 for general rad techs, per BLS May 2025 OEWS data. Most MRI techs start in radiography and add ARRT’s post-primary MRI certification after gaining clinical experience.

### How competitive is admission to Arizona radiology tech programs?

Admission competitiveness varies. Programs like [GateWay Community College](https://www.gatewaycc.edu/degrees-certificates/health-sciences/radiologic-technology-3582-aas) with 122 seats admit more students per cohort than smaller programs like Yavapai College. Contact each program directly for current prerequisites, application deadlines, and selection criteria.

## Radiology Requirements in Arizona

Arizona professionals in the field of radiology technology from limited license X-ray technicians to radiologist assistants must pass the appropriate [American Registry of Radiologic Technologists](https://www.arrt.org/) (ARRT) exam. Practitioners working in nuclear medicine must also pass the Nuclear Medicine Technology Certification Board (NMCTB) exam. Limited license X-ray technicians who want to practice in Arizona must complete a limited license program within the state of Arizona. Medical imaging equipment operators (MIOs) must be certified by the ARRT or have met the educational requirements set forth by their employer. Diagnostic medical imaging departments must also be granted certification by the Arizona Department of Health Services.

### Professional Organizations

Radiology science professionals in Arizona are well advised to use the resources available to them through their professional organizations. Societies such as the [Arizona State Society of Radiologic Technologists (](https://www.azsrt.org/)[ASSRT)](https://www.azsrt.org/) can help technologists make professional contacts and stay abreast of any changes in state regulations. The ASSRT is the Arizona affiliate of the [American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT.)](https://www.asrt.org/) Technologists in Arizona should also be familiar with the [Arizona Radiation Regulatory Agency (ARRA)](https://www.azrra.gov/), which oversees licensing for the state.

### American Registry of Radiologic Technologists

The American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) is a national organization responsible for certifying and registering qualified professionals in the field of radiography. To become certified by the ARRT, an individual must pass both a written and clinical certification exam.
