Program Purpose
The purpose of the Master of Science in Imaging Sciences program is to develop clinically competent, imaging technologists with leadership skills and multi-modality, registry-eligible certifications in Radiography, Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). In addition to multi-modality registry eligibility, the students will have preparation for professional leadership roles in education, research, and management and supervision. The program will provide a comprehensive, plan of study to prepare students for multiple marketable certifications in medical imaging. The programmatic mode of delivery will be in a traditional classroom setting, and on-campus with supervised clinical experiences. It will consist of a two-year, 24-month plan of study following admission. The six-semester program includes two summer semesters, for a total of 98 semester credit hours.
