Radiation Therapy

Person receiving radiation treatment

Radiation therapists have a great responsibility to provide both accurate radiation administration and compassionate patient care, while working as members of the health care team.

The mission of the Community College of Baltimore County, Essex Campus Radiation Therapy Program, is to prepare qualified students to be competent Radiation Therapists. We take pride in providing the profession with such qualified individuals. CCBC Radiation Therapy graduates are eligible to take the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) national registry examination and apply for the Maryland Board of Physicians licensure in radiation therapy.
