Administrators evaluate bachelor's degrees for R.T.s.
This article reports the results of a survey conducted to assess radiology administrators' attitudes regarding a bachelor of science degree for radiography students. Administrators at accredited hospitals in Nevada, Utah and Arizona were asked whether they believed a bachelor's degree would benefit radiographers in terms of status, employment, salary and placement in the health care industry. The survey results were mixed, showing no overall consensus in willingness to pay higher salaries to those with a bachelor's degree and no preference for hiring a radiographer with a bachelor's degree over one with an associate degree or hospital training.
