Find an Accredited or Applicant Program
Accreditation of an educational program provides students and graduates assurance that the educational program will provide them with the requisite knowledge, skills, and values to competently perform the range of professional responsibilities expected by potential employers nationwide. It also assures they will be eligible for licensure in each of the 50 states.
FIND A PROGRAMAllegations
The JRCERT is required to be responsive to allegations of non-compliance with any of its Standards. An investigation into allegations of non-compliance addresses only the program’s compliance with accreditation standards and will not affect the status of any individual student. The JRCERT takes seriously and follows up appropriately any allegation that an accredited program is not maintaining compliance with its accreditation standards. Please be advised the JRCERT cannot advocate on behalf of any one student.

What is Accreditation?
The JRCERT welcomes a collaborative relationship with our programs and faculty. We strive to work together with our programs to achieve our mutual goal of Excellence in Education. Through the process of programmatic accreditation, educators are assured that their educational programs are keeping pace with the profession and with standards developed through national consensus.
VIEW THE ACCREDITATION PROCESS
The primary public symbol of legitimate higher education for over 100 years
The primary “reliable authority” for federal and state governments funding for higher education
The primary reliable authority for private sector financial support for higher education
A major source of protection against fraud and abuse for students and consumers
Become a Site Visitor
Site visitors are an integral part of the accreditation process. Radiologic science professionals are encouraged to consider serving as a site visitor. This experience provides opportunities to travel and meet professional colleagues throughout the country. Site visitors are able to gain knowledge regarding educational practices and share ideas with others. Service as a site visitor allows one to make a significant contribution to education and the profession as a whole.
