## Radiologic Technologist Salaries in Arkansas

According to BLS May 2025 OEWS data, 2,210 radiologic technologists and technicians (SOC 29-2034) are employed in Arkansas, earning a median annual wage of $63,640. That figure sits below the national median, which reflects Arkansas’s overall cost of labor – but the state’s cost of living is also meaningfully lower than coastal or large Midwestern markets, so purchasing power matters here as much as the raw number.

Pay spreads across experience levels. The 10th percentile in Arkansas sits at $46,810 annually – typically entry-level positions at smaller rural hospitals. The 25th percentile is $57,190. Technologists with several years of experience who move into supervisory roles or specialize in higher-demand modalities often reach the 75th percentile of $78,480 or the 90th percentile of $94,180, according to BLS May 2025 OEWS data.

### How Career Advancement Affects Pay

Radiographers who add a specialty credential in MRI can expect a substantial pay increase. BLS May 2025 OEWS data shows MRI Technologists (SOC 29-2035) in Arkansas earn a median of $78,780 – roughly $15,000 more per year than the radiography median. The 90th percentile for MRI techs in Arkansas reaches $97,570. With 380 MRI techs currently employed statewide, these positions exist in smaller numbers but carry clear earning advantages for credentialed professionals willing to add the specialized training.

## Arkansas Radiography Licensing Requirements

Arkansas requires radiologic technologists to hold a state license issued by the Arkansas Department of Health, Radiation Control Section. The core requirements for licensure in 2026 are as follows:

- **ARRT Certification:** Arkansas requires passage of the ARRT examination in radiography. Graduating from a JRCERT-accredited program makes you eligible to sit for this exam.
- **State License Application:** After passing the ARRT exam, you apply to the Arkansas Department of Health for your state license. You cannot practice as a radiologic technologist in Arkansas without this license.
- **Continuing Education:** License renewal requires documentation of continuing education credits. The Arkansas Radiation Control regulations specify the CE requirements for renewal cycles. [VERIFY: current CE credit hours required per renewal cycle per Arkansas Radiation Control regulations]
- **Criminal Background Check:** Applicants must submit to a background check as part of the licensing process.
- **Fluoroscopy Permit:** Performing fluoroscopy in Arkansas requires a separate fluoroscopy permit, which involves additional training and documentation beyond basic licensure.

Always verify current requirements directly with the Arkansas Department of Health, Radiation Control Section, as regulations can change between publication cycles.

## What to Look for in an Arkansas Radiography Program

Eight programs sounds like a lot of choices until you start narrowing by geography, schedule, and cost. Here is what actually matters when you compare programs in this state.

### JRCERT Accreditation Length

Seven of the eight Arkansas programs hold 8-year accreditation – the maximum term JRCERT awards, which signals consistent compliance over multiple review cycles. CHI-St. Vincent Infirmary currently holds a 3-year accreditation. That does not mean the program is unaccredited or invalid, but it indicates JRCERT found areas requiring closer monitoring. Ask any 3-year-accredited program what specific issues led to the shorter term and how they have been addressed.

### ARRT First-Time Pass Rate

This is the single most measurable indicator of how well a program prepares students for the national exam. Among Arkansas programs, rates range from 76% to 100%. A higher pass rate means a larger share of graduates can begin working without delay. Programs typically publish their ARRT prep curriculum – ask specifically how many practice exams, review courses, and mock assessments are built into the final semester.

### Clinical Site Diversity

Arkansas has a mix of large academic medical centers, regional hospitals, orthopedic clinics, and critical access hospitals in rural areas. Programs whose clinical networks include both a facility like UAMS or Arkansas Children’s Hospital and a smaller rural site give you exposure to volume and variety. Rural hospitals often have a broader scope of daily work for technologists because the staff is smaller – this can accelerate hands-on skill development.

### Program Length and Format

Arkansas radiography programs range from 18 to 24 months. The shortest programs (18-21 months) tend to be more intensive; the longer ones may allow slightly more time to absorb material. If you are balancing work or family obligations, distance education availability at South Arkansas College and UAMS may reduce commuting demands for didactic coursework, though clinical rotations will always require in-person attendance at affiliated sites.

### Total Cost Including Non-Resident Premium

If you live in a neighboring state – particularly the Memphis metro, Texarkana, or the Missouri bootheel – check whether cross-state or reciprocity agreements affect your tuition. Some programs charge the same rate regardless of residency (Baptist Health College, CHI-St. Vincent), which removes that variable entirely. The gap between resident and non-resident tuition at UAMS ($12,012 vs. $27,500) is the widest in the state and worth careful attention if you are not an Arkansas resident.

### Completion Rate

Five programs report 100% completion rates. Southeast Arkansas College (86%) and UAMS (89%) fall below that mark. Lower completion rates are not always a red flag – some programs accept students who later find the field is not the right fit – but they are worth discussing with program advisors. Ask whether students who leave do so voluntarily or due to academic difficulty, and what support resources are available during the program.

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

### Program Length

Arkansas radiography programs run between 18 and 24 months, depending on the institution. Shorter programs compress the same curriculum into a faster schedule; longer programs may distribute the clinical hours across more weeks, which some students find easier to manage. The ARRT does not require a minimum program duration – it requires completion of a JRCERT-accredited program and passage of the examination.

### Clinical Hours

JRCERT standards require a minimum number of competency-based clinical experiences, not just hours. Arkansas programs fulfill these requirements at their affiliated clinical sites. [VERIFY: specific JRCERT minimum clinical hour requirement for radiography as of current standards] In practice, students in Arkansas programs rotate through hospital radiology departments, outpatient imaging centers, orthopedic clinics, and specialty facilities. The number and variety of sites differs meaningfully between programs – ASU-Jonesboro’s 39 affiliated sites and UAMS’s 40-plus sites offer significantly more diversity than programs with 7-12 clinical partners.

### ARRT Exam Preparation

The ARRT Radiography examination covers radiation protection, equipment operation, image production, image evaluation, patient care, and radiographic procedures. Arkansas programs integrate exam preparation into their curricula throughout the program, not just in the final weeks. When evaluating a specific program, ask:

- How many structured ARRT review sessions are included in the curriculum?
- Does the program use a standardized registry review course or internal materials?
- What is the program’s policy for students who do not pass on the first attempt?
- What is the five-year first-time pass rate trend, not just the most recently reported figure?

## Related Imaging and Therapy Programs in Arkansas

After completing a radiography program and gaining experience, many technologists pursue additional credentials in specialized modalities. The following JRCERT-accredited programs in Arkansas offer a pathway into higher-earning or more specialized roles. These programs are separate from the radiography listings above and are generally designed for working radiographers adding a credential or new graduates seeking a specialty track.

## Frequently Asked Questions: Radiology Tech Programs in Arkansas

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

Completion times for JRCERT-accredited radiography programs in Arkansas range from 18 to 24 months. After finishing the program, you must pass the ARRT radiography examination and apply for your Arkansas state license before you can work independently as a radiologic technologist. Total time from program start to licensed employment is typically 20 to 27 months depending on the program and how quickly you sit for the exam.

### How much do radiologic technologists earn in Arkansas?

According to BLS May 2025 OEWS data, the median annual wage for radiologic technologists and technicians in Arkansas is $63,640. Entry-level positions at the 10th percentile pay approximately $46,810 per year, while experienced technologists at the 90th percentile earn $94,180. MRI technologists, who require additional credentialing, earn a median of $78,780 in Arkansas per the same data source.

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

Yes. Arkansas requires a state license from the Arkansas Department of Health, Radiation Control Section, in addition to ARRT certification. You must pass the ARRT exam before applying for the state license. A separate fluoroscopy permit is required to perform fluoroscopic procedures. Practicing without a valid license is a violation of state law.

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

JRCERT – the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology – accredits radiologic technology programs in the United States. Graduating from a JRCERT-accredited program is a prerequisite for sitting for the ARRT examination, which is required for Arkansas licensure. All eight radiography programs listed on this page hold current JRCERT accreditation.

### Which Arkansas radiography program has the highest ARRT pass rate?

Baptist Health College Little Rock reports a 100% first-time ARRT exam pass rate, the highest among Arkansas programs currently. National Park College follows at 98%. Both University of Arkansas – Fort Smith and Southeast Arkansas College report 96% pass rates.

### Are there any online radiography programs in Arkansas?

Radiography programs cannot be completed entirely online because clinical training requires hands-on work in imaging facilities. However, South Arkansas College and the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences both offer distance education components for the didactic (classroom-based) portion of their programs. Clinical rotations at both schools remain in-person requirements.

### Can I become a radiology tech in Arkansas without a degree?

Yes. Several Arkansas programs award certificates rather than associate or bachelor’s degrees. CHI-St. Vincent Infirmary, for example, runs a hospital-based certificate program. JRCERT accreditation and ARRT exam eligibility do not require a specific degree type – they require completion of an accredited program that meets ARRT educational requirements. That said, some employers and career advancement opportunities do favor applicants with associate or bachelor’s degrees.

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

A radiologic technologist (rad tech) primarily performs X-ray and fluoroscopy imaging. An MRI technologist specializes in magnetic resonance imaging, a separate modality with different equipment, safety protocols, and credentialing requirements. In Arkansas, MRI techs earn a median of $78,780 annually compared to $63,640 for general radiographers, per BLS May 2025 OEWS data. Becoming an MRI tech typically requires completing a radiography program first, then adding MRI-specific training and credentialing – such as through the ASU-Jonesboro MRI program described above.
