About this school
Avera McKennan Hospital School of Radiologic Technology is a private non-profit trade school in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. It is accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology and holds active accredited status. However, federal data indicates this campus does not participate in Title IV federal financial aid programs, so students cannot use FAFSA or Pell Grants here. The school awards a single program family, radiology and sonography programs, with 12 completers reported in federal data, and this is the primary trade credential offered at this campus.
Specific outcome figures for this campus are limited in federal data. The statewide average completion rate for similar programs in South Dakota is 73.8%, but this campus's own completion rate compared to that state average is not reported for this campus in federal data. Median debt of graduates, median earnings 10 years after entry, annual cost of attendance, and the share of students receiving Pell Grants are also not reported for this campus in federal data.
This program may suit someone seeking a focused, hospital-based path into radiologic technology, though specific program length and schedule are not detailed in this data and should be confirmed directly with the school. Because Title IV aid is not available here, cost and financing questions are especially important to raise before enrolling. Prospective students should verify accreditation status directly with the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology and review the U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard for any additional details before applying.
