([Leer esta información en español](https://radiologyed.org/es/indiana/)) > *As demand rises for radiological technologists and similar professionals, now is a better time than ever to start pursuing a career in radiology. The growing national trend is predicted to continue,*[*leading to a 13% increase in radiologic technology jobs*](https://radiologyed.org/prospects/)*in only 10 years.* The state of Indiana, like many other states, is expected to experience a shortage of workers in this profession, leading to more job opportunities for those who are qualified. ## Responsibilities of Radiologic Technologists Radiologic technologists are clinically trained to prepare patients for procedures and administer radiation therapy treatments. In addition, they often work with other healthcare professionals during diagnostic imaging procedures such as X-rays, CT scans, MRI scans, nuclear medicine scans, mammograms, ultrasounds, and other forms of image-guided technology. ## State Licensing Requirements In the state of Indiana, radiological technologists must be licensed to perform radiology work. Indiana is currently one of 37 US states to use the [American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT)](https://www.arrt.org/) certification exams for licensing. ## Radiologic Technology Schools in Indiana Radiological technologist students have many educational options to choose from in the state of Indiana. There are currently 17 radiography programs in the state that are accredited by the [Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology (JRCERT)](https://www.jrcert.org/). Radiology programs may offer a Certificate, an Associate’s, or a Bachelor’s in Radiology Technology. Some large area hospitals also offer accredited programs in the study of radiology. The majority offer only certificates through their programs, and many have a partnership with local college programs to offer dual credit and clinical experience opportunities. ## Other Schools to Consider for Radiologic Technology Programs [Vincennes University](https://radiologyed.org/schools/indiana/#179goo47591), Vincennes: This 4-year college offers a Certificate, Associate’s, and Bachelor’s degree through its Radiography program. This program is currently in partnership with the [Good Samaritan Hospital certification program](https://radiologyed.org/schools/indiana/#179goo47591). Outside of the State of Indiana, there are various options to consider in[Cincinnati, Fort Wayne and Columbus, Ohio](https://radiologyed.org/schools/ohio/), [Lexington, KY](https://radiologyed.org/schools/kentucky/), and [in Chicago to the north](https://radiologyed.org/schools/illinois/). Continuing education is also available through the JRCERT and other organizations. ## Large Employers in Radiology There are over 100 hospitals in Indiana, and all require professional radiologic techs. In addition, Indiana is home to smaller medical facilities, such as family doctors’ offices and local clinics. Some of the state’s most popular and recognized hospitals are listed below: **[Indiana University Health](//iuhealth.org/)** Indianapolis, Lafayette, Muncie, Bedford 550 University Boulevard Indianapolis, IN 46202-5149 (317) 962-2000 **[St. Vincent Hospital and Health Center](//www.stvincent.org/)** Indianapolis, Anderson, Bedford, Brazil, Carmel, Elwood, Fishers, Frankfort, Kokomo, North Vernon, Salem Williamsport, Winchester 2001 West 86th Street Indianapolis, IN 46260-1991 (317) 338-2345 **[Franciscan St. Francis Health](https://www.franciscanhealth.org/)** Carmel, Indianapolis, Mooresville 8111 South Emerson Avenue Indianapolis, IN 46217 (317) 865-5000 **[Parkview Hospital](https://www.parkview.com/)** Fort Wayne, Huntington, LaGrange, Noble, Whitley, 2200 Randallia Drive Fort Wayne, IN 46805-4699 (260) 373-4000 **[Baptist Health Floyd](https://www.baptisthealth.com/)** New Albany 1850 State Street New Albany, IN 47150-4997 (812) 949-5500 **[Community Howard Regional Health](https://www.ecommunity.com/locations/community-howard-regional-health)** Kokomo, Frankfort 3500 South Lafountain Street Kokomo, IN 46904-9011 (765) 453-0702 **[Dupont Hospital](https://www.theduponthospital.com/)** Fort Wayne 2520 East Dupont Road Fort Wayne, IN 46825 (260) 416-3000 ## Accredited Radiography Programs in Indiana: 2026 Guide Indiana employs 5,470 radiologic technologists and technicians statewide, according to BLS May 2025 OEWS data, with a median annual wage of $77,640. That figure sits above the national median for many comparable allied health roles, and the state’s relatively low cost of living in cities like Fort Wayne, Terre Haute, and Kokomo means your purchasing power stretches further than the raw number suggests. Indianapolis, where several programs are concentrated, carries higher housing costs but remains well below Chicago or Cincinnati. Seventeen JRCERT-accredited radiography programs operate across Indiana, from hospital-based certificates that cost under $4,000 to university degrees approaching $50,000, so the range of options is genuinely wide. ## JRCERT-Accredited Radiography Programs in Indiana All 17 programs listed below hold JRCERT accreditation, which is the standard recognized by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT). Completing a JRCERT-accredited program is required before you can sit for the ARRT certification exam. Program length ranges from 14 months to 33 months. Tuition figures are drawn directly from JRCERT program data. ### Program Listings **[Ball State

Verify current figures directly with each institution before enrolling. ## Radiologic Technologist Salaries in Indiana According to BLS May 2025 OEWS data, radiologic technologists and technicians (SOC 29-2034) in Indiana earn a median annual wage of $77,640. The pay distribution is wide: entry-level workers at the 10th percentile earn around $51,090, while experienced technologists at the 90th percentile reach $99,580. The 25th-to-75th percentile range runs from $62,840 to $84,060, which gives a useful picture of what most working technologists earn after the first few years on the job. Indiana’s cost of living makes these figures more meaningful than a simple comparison to coastal states might suggest. A $77,640 median salary in Terre Haute or Kokomo goes considerably further than the same figure in Chicago or Columbus, Ohio. Housing costs in smaller Indiana markets remain among the lowest in the Midwest. For those who advance into MRI technology, the earnings picture improves. Magnetic Resonance Imaging Technologists (SOC 29-2035) in Indiana earn a median of $86,880, with a mean of $87,190, according to the same BLS May 2025 OEWS data. The top quartile of MRI technologists earns $99,360 or more, and the 90th percentile reaches $102,690. That gap between radiography and MRI pay – roughly $9,000 at the median – reflects the additional credentialing and skills required, and it represents a realistic step up for technologists who complete a post-primary MRI program after gaining clinical experience. ## Indiana Radiography Licensing Requirements Indiana requires radiologic technologists to hold a current, valid license issued by the Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH). The licensing process involves several specific steps. ### Initial Licensure - Graduate from a JRCERT-accredited radiography program – all 17 programs listed on this page qualify. - Pass the ARRT certification examination in Radiography (R). You must pass the exam before your Indiana license is issued. - Submit a completed application to the ISDH along with the required fee. - Provide official transcripts and documentation of ARRT certification. - Pass a criminal background check. Certain conviction types may affect eligibility; the ISDH reviews these on a case-by-case basis. ### License Renewal - Indiana radiologic technologist licenses renew on a two-year cycle. - Continuing education requirements must be met for renewal. Indiana accepts ARRT-approved continuing education credits; [VERIFY: current Indiana-specific CE hour requirement from ISDH] hours are required per renewal period. - Technologists who maintain their ARRT certification in good standing are generally considered to meet CE requirements, but confirm current rules with the ISDH before renewal. ### Reciprocity Indiana offers reciprocity for technologists licensed in other states, provided the applicant holds current ARRT certification and meets Indiana’s licensure standards. The ISDH may require additional documentation depending on your home state’s licensing framework. ## What to Look for in an Indiana Radiography Program Indiana’s program landscape ranges from tight-capacity hospital programs with near-perfect outcomes to large university programs with broader clinical networks. Choosing the right fit depends on your priorities, but several factors deserve careful attention regardless of which program you consider. ### ARRT Exam Pass Rate The ARRT exam is the credential that determines whether you can work. Among Indiana’s accredited programs, first-attempt pass rates in the JRCERT data range from 76% to 100%. Programs with consistently high pass rates – Hancock Health, IU School of Medicine, and Ivy Tech Central Indiana all report 98-100% – demonstrate that their curriculum, clinical preparation, and ARRT exam prep support are working. A pass rate below 85% warrants direct questions to the program director about how the program supports students who struggle with board prep. ### Completion Rate and Class Size A low completion rate in a small program is a red flag worth investigating. Some Indiana programs report 100% completion with classes of 12-20 students; that selectivity in admissions may explain the outcome. South College Indianapolis reports a 75% completion rate with a 3-year current accreditation cycle rather than the 8-year cycle held by most Indiana programs – ask any program with a shorter accreditation period about the reasons behind it. ### Clinical Site Network Indiana programs vary significantly in the clinical environments they offer. Some hospital-based programs provide deep exposure at one or two sites. Others, like the University of Saint Francis, place students across 38 clinical sites covering trauma centers, orthopedic hospitals, outpatient imaging, VA facilities, and pediatric settings. Breadth of clinical exposure affects how well-prepared you are for the variety of settings you may encounter after graduation. ### Program Length and Format Ball State’s program completes in 14 months – the shortest in Indiana. Indiana University Fort Wayne runs 33 months. Both produce graduates eligible for the same ARRT exam, but the longer program typically provides more clinical hours and a deeper curriculum. If you need to enter the workforce quickly or have existing obligations, program length is a practical constraint. IU Fort Wayne, Ivy Tech Marion, and Ivy Tech Wabash Valley offer distance education components, which can ease the commuting burden for students outside major metro areas. ### Tuition and Total Program Cost Resident tuition for Indiana programs runs from $3,500 at several hospital-based programs to $49,480 at the University of Saint Francis. That gap is real, but so is the context: hospital-based programs often have very small cohorts and competitive admissions. A lower-cost community college program like Ivy Tech Central Indiana – $5,154 resident tuition with 100% completion, 100% pass rate, and 100% placement – may offer better value than a more expensive private option. Calculate total cost including fees, required equipment, and living expenses before comparing programs on tuition alone. ### Job Placement Rate Fourteen of Indiana’s 17 programs report 100% job placement. Columbus Regional Hospital reports 90%, and South College Indianapolis does not report a placement rate in current JRCERT data. A 100% rate in a tight market is genuinely meaningful; confirm with programs how they define “placement” (any healthcare job, or specifically radiologic technology employment). ## Program Length, Clinical Hours, and ARRT Exam Preparation JRCERT-accredited radiography programs must meet minimum clinical hour requirements set by the organization. Most Indiana programs require students to complete at least [VERIFY: current JRCERT minimum clinical hour requirement] clinical hours across their approved sites. Programs with large, diverse clinical networks – IU School of Medicine with 32 sites, University of Saint Francis with 38 sites – expose students to a wider range of imaging modalities, patient populations, and equipment types than smaller programs can provide. ARRT exam preparation is not standardized across programs, but most include dedicated board prep coursework in the final semester. Ask any program you are evaluating how ARRT prep is structured: is it integrated throughout the curriculum, or concentrated at the end? Do they track individual student performance on practice exams and provide remediation? Programs with high first-attempt pass rates typically have systematic answers to these questions. The ARRT Radiography exam covers patient care, safety, image production, procedures, and radiation protection. Indiana programs generally cover all of these domains, but the depth and method of instruction vary. Request syllabi for key courses and ask about average student scores on nationally normed practice exams before committing to a program. ## Related Imaging and Therapy Programs in Indiana After gaining experience as a radiologic technologist, some professionals choose to specialize in radiation therapy or medical dosimetry. These roles require additional education and credentialing, and they typically carry higher salaries and different clinical responsibilities. The following JRCERT-accredited programs in Indiana offer pathways into these specializations. ### Radiation Therapy Programs **Indiana University Northwest** – Gary Program type: Radiation Therapy | Length: 22 months | Tuition (resident): $6,750 | Tuition (non-resident): $18,865 | ARRT exam pass rate: 88% | Job placement rate: 100% | Capacity: 14 | Distance education available Clinical sites include Franciscan Health Crown Point, Franciscan Health Munster Cancer Center, and UChicago Medicine across northwest Indiana and the Chicago metro area. **Indiana University School of Medicine, Department of Radiation Oncology** – Indianapolis Program type: Radiation Therapy | Length: 22 months | Tuition (resident): $10,760 | Tuition (non-resident): $15,250 | Completion rate: 100% | ARRT exam pass rate: 82% | Job placement rate: 100% | Capacity: 35 Clinical sites include IU Health University Hospital, Community MD Anderson Cancer Center locations across Indiana, and Reid Hospital in Richmond. **Ivy Tech Community College – Bloomington** – Bloomington Program type: Radiation Therapy | Length: 22 months | Tuition (resident): $5,155 | Tuition (non-resident): $9,935 | Completion rate: 100% | ARRT exam pass rate: 97% | Job placement rate: 100% | Capacity: 20 | Distance education available Clinical sites include IU Health Bloomington Hospital Cancer Radiation Center, Franciscan Health Indianapolis, Good Samaritan Hospital in Vincennes, and multiple cancer centers across southern Indiana. ### Medical Dosimetry Program **[John Patrick University of Health and Applied Sciences](https://jpu.edu/bachelor-of-science-in-medical-imaging/)** – South Bend Program type: Medical Dosimetry | Length: 24 months | Tuition: $22,005 (resident and non-resident) | Completion rate: 90% | Exam pass rate: 86% | Job placement rate: 98% | Capacity: 255 | Distance education, evening, weekend, part-time, and clinical distance delivery available This is one of the largest medical dosimetry programs in the country, with clinical affiliates across more than 40 states. It accepts students who already hold ARRT credentials and clinical experience in radiography, radiation therapy, or a related field. Radiation therapists operate linear accelerators and deliver prescribed radiation doses to cancer patients. Medical dosimetrists calculate and plan those treatment doses. Both roles require strong technical foundations in physics and anatomy – the skills built in a radiography program provide a direct foundation for either specialization. ## Frequently Asked Questions: Radiography Programs in Indiana ### How long does it take to become a radiology tech in Indiana?
