The Ogden median of $74,880 is below the national median of $80,110, and below the Utah statewide median of $81,000 (BLS OEWS, May 2025).
The metro’s location quotient of 0.78 means radiologic technologists are less concentrated here than in the average U.S. labor market (BLS OEWS, May 2025). Higher concentration generally means more employers competing for the same people, and an easier job change later.
Imaging jobs sit where the hospitals and outpatient imaging centers are, so the metro picture matters more than the statewide one.

Licensing is a state matter, not a city one. Radiography programs are accredited by JRCERT and certification runs through ARRT. Most states also require a license that references ARRT certification, but the requirement is not uniform and a few states regulate differently, so the rule has to be checked locally.
See the Utah licensing and pay overview for the statewide picture, and confirm current requirements with your state radiologic health or licensing board.
Schools in our database near this area, ranked by BOC Score. The list favors schools with a related program on record, but program availability and delivery format change, so confirm directly with any school that it currently offers the program you want.
We first gather the schools closest to the city or state page you are viewing, then rank that local group by BOC Score, with the highest at the top. The BOC Score is computed from federal IPEDS and College Scorecard data; schools without enough data to score appear last.
Schools without enough federal outcome data appear after ranked schools, without a score. Advertising never affects these rankings. Read the full methodology.

Licensing is handled at state level rather than by city. Radiography programs are accredited by JRCERT and certification runs through ARRT. Most states also require a license that references ARRT certification, but the requirement is not uniform and a few states regulate differently, so the rule has to be checked locally. Confirm current requirements with your state radiologic health or licensing board.
The academic portion of these programs is widely available online for working adults, while labs, clinical hours or supervised field work are completed in person. Check that the program's accreditation satisfies your state radiologic health or licensing board.

Wage and employment figures describe the occupation as measured by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, not the graduates of any particular program, and individual outcomes may vary. Licensing rules change; confirm current requirements with the responsible state board before enrolling.
