CONCORD, Calif., Feb. 12, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- In January 2015 Gurnick Academy received an approval to begin offering an Associate of Science in Radiologic Technology from Accrediting Bureau for Health Education Schools (ABHES). Previously, Gurnick Academy offered a diploma in Radiologic Technology and required an Associate of Science degree as a prerequisite.

With this requirement not satisfied with the new AS degree in Radiologic Technology interested individuals without a degree may apply.
