Radiography Program Accreditation
The Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology (JRCERT) is the central external accreditation for radiography and radiation therapy technology programs and many other educational programs.
- The responsibility of the JRCERT to validate that all programs meet the STANDARDS for an educational program.
- The program must create a SELF STUDY document. Ultimately, a self-study document is reflective in nature.
- Two site visitors are selected by the JRCERT to visit the BCC camps and clinical sites to assure that students are receiving the very best radiography education.
- The program is offered time to address any issue that comes up during the site visit.
- Based on all information received, the JRCERT sends the written information to its Board of Directors, who read, discusses, and makes the final accreditation award.
Information about the Program’s Accreditation
- Date of the last site visit: July 2023
Accredited with Probationary Status
- A self-study will be submitted in 2024 with a site visit in 2025.

Program Effectiveness Data
2019 – 2023 BCC Program Effectiveness Data
The following is the most current program effectiveness data. Our programmatic accreditation agency, the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology (JRCERT), defines and publishes this information. The information can be found directly on https://www.jrcert.org/programs/bergen-community-college-2/
Credentialing Examination: The number of students who pass, on the first attempt, the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) certification examination, or an unrestricted state licensing examination, compared with the number of graduates who take the examination within six months of graduation. The five-year average benchmark established by the JRCERT is 75%.
Job Placement: The number of graduates employed in the radiologic sciences compared to the number of graduates actively seeking employment in the radiologic sciences within twelve months of graduating. The five-year average benchmark established by the JRCERT is 75%.
Program Completion: The number of students who complete the program within the stated program length. The annual benchmark established by the program is 70%.
