Mission & Goals

Mission

The purpose of the Medical Radiography Major is to graduate students with a baccalaureate degree who are qualified to perform imaging examinations and accompanying responsibilities.
The radiography faculty of Baptist College of Health Sciences believes that the baccalaureate degree provides the academic and clinical experiences that will prepare students for challenging careers as competent health care professionals. Through an integrated, goal-directed educational approach, program graduates will be prepared to provide responsive, quality care to a diverse population in a variety of clinical settings.

To meet the demands of an increasing complex health care environment and to facilitate the continuing development of their personal and professional goals, the faculty believe that the graduate must be well grounded in the liberal arts and sciences. The development of creativity, self-direction, critical thinking, and a commitment to life-long learning is essential to the educational process and is fostered through the liberal arts.

The faculty believes that a quality educational experience is enhanced when the responsibility is shared between the teacher and the learner. Since each student comes to us with unique needs, talents and potential, we recognize that our role is to facilitate the development of the individual. To this end, the faculty commits their collective talents and wisdom.
