Learn to see what
no one else can.
Expose is a teaching lab where career-changers, biology grads, and military medics learn to read the human body through X-ray, CT, and MRI — hands on controls before they ever touch a patient.

What best describes your background?
Can I actually afford this?
Most Expose students pay less out-of-pocket than they expect. The total program cost — tuition, fees, equipment — runs about $22,800. That sounds like a lot until you do the math: federal aid, employer reimbursement, and our merit scholarship can cover the majority of it.
Veterans using GI Bill benefits often pay nothing out of pocket and receive a housing allowance on top. Night-shift medical assistants frequently have employers who will cover a third.
Available Aid
Typical student net cost
“I was working nights as an MA making $17 an hour, convinced I couldn't afford school. My employer covered $3k, Pell Grant covered most of the rest. I graduated with $4,200 in debt and a job at $68k. The math was always there — I just couldn't see it.”
80-week program helix
Physics doesn't hit until week 5 — and you won't face it alone.
What if I can't do the physics?
Radiologic physics is not the physics you remember from college. It's not calculus-heavy. It's applied physics — understanding why 70 kVp makes a diagnostic image and 50 kVp doesn't. If you understand how a microwave heats food, you already have the intuition.
Our physics sequence is taught by working RTs, not academics. Every concept is tied to a real image you'll produce. You learn it because you're standing in front of the tube, not because it's on a slide.
“I dropped pre-med because orgo destroyed me. I genuinely thought I wasn't a science person. Rad physics is completely different — it clicked because I could see it working in real images. My first week in the lab I understood more than I did in two semesters of chemistry.”
How fast can I actually start earning?
The Expose program is 80 weeks — 18 months from your first class to your ARRT boards. Our last three cohorts averaged 23 days from board pass to first job offer. The national median for new RTs is 6 weeks.
Clinical rotations start at week 16 — many students receive offers from their rotation sites before graduation. You're not starting from zero; you're converting a relationship.
“I was 34 and felt like I'd already missed my window. I passed boards on a Friday and had a job offer on the following Wednesday. The clinical site I rotated through just called me. I was earning $71k before my class even graduated.”

What's clinicals actually like?
The first time you position a real patient — not a mannequin — everything you learned in the lab suddenly has weight. You're not alone. Your clinical coordinator is there, your staff preceptor is there, and you've already done this procedure 40 times on a phantom. You're nervous, but you're ready.
Expose clinical sites include trauma centers, outpatient imaging, pediatric hospitals, and VA facilities. You'll rotate through all of them. By the time you graduate, you've seen a little of everything — and you know exactly what environment you want to work in.
“I was terrified of being thrown at patients before I was ready. It was the opposite — I felt over-prepared for my first real patient. The lab work was so close to the real thing that my hands already knew what to do. I just had to let them.”
What does the other side look like?
Numbers from our last four graduating cohorts. We publish these every semester because we think you deserve to know what you're buying.
