ESSENTIAL LEARNING OUTCOMES

All graduates of associate degree programs at Eastern Maine Community College will improve their initial skills in the following common learning objectives:

Communication: Graduates effectively convey ideas to others using graphics, speech and writing, while sources (if any) are handled appropriately, and content, mechanics, and presentation are clear and appropriate to the assignment.
Teamwork: Graduates work effectively in teams with individuals from diverse backgrounds to achieve a goal. Graduates work collaboratively and in a timely manner to ensure that all members participate in accomplishing the task and provide constructive feedback when conflicts arise.
Independent Learning: Graduates access, evaluate, and synthesize information independently using appropriate technology, and select information relevant to the assignment, then organize and synthesize it clearly.
Problem Solving: Graduates can interpret manuals and reports, use numerical literacy skills, scientific methods, and/or logic to first separate the symptoms from problems and then to work through the details of the problem to seek a solution.

Medical Radiography Alumni

I chose the Medical Radiography program at EMCC because their successful board passing rates were number one in the state.

I enjoyed being challenged every day with different exams and patients! It only made me a better student radiographer. I also enjoyed learning about all the different ways I can expand my career once I graduate.

I would tell anyone who is considering the Medical Radiography program at EMCC that it is one of the best programs to go through. The instructors are always there to help you in every way possible. They encourage and push you to do your best and step out of your comfort zone to help make you a better radiographer in the long run. The curriculum that is provided doesn’t compare to any other program. The assignments within the curriculum helped me understand everything a lot better. The radiography program at EMCC is definitely the way to go if considering medical radiography.

“What I loved most about EMCC is the flexibility. The classes are tailored to your schedule, making it easier to balance between work, family, and school. EMCC changed my life because it’s helped me shape my independence and help me become more responsible.”

Current CRJ Student

My name is Ian and I’m in the Criminal Justice program at Eastern Maine Community College.

After struggling in my first major at EMCC, I decided to switch to the Criminal Justice program and I already love it! I enjoy the endless amount of guest speakers and all of the great information they give to the students. The group discussions really make me feel involved and help me learn more.

After I graduate from the Criminal Justice program, I would like to attend the police academy and become a police officer or a game warden.
