Programs
Advanced Radiologic Sciences
Advanced Radiologic Sciences offers skills for medical imaging careers, along with technical, management, and educational positions.
Emphases include:
- Advanced Radiologic Sciences (no clinical education required)
- Interventional Radiology (IR)
- Computed Tomography (CT)
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
- CT/MRI Combined
- Women’s Imaging (mammography)
Requires ARRT certification to apply.
Diagnostic Medical Sonography
Diagnostic Medical Sonography prepares you for a career as a sonographer, using ultrasound to produce images of organs, tissue and blood flow inside the body. Sonographers help detect heart disease and vascular disease and help perform fine-needle tissue guided biopsy procedures.
Emphases include:
Prerequisites fulfilled with either:
- AAS or AS degree (recommended in a medical profession such as Nursing or Respiratory Therapy) and patient care experience
- AAS or AS degree and ARRT certification (such as Radiography)
- A Bachelor's degree (best if in a medically-related major)
Nuclear Medicine
Our Nuclear Medicine program trains you to become a nuclear medicine technologist, using sophisticated detectors interfaced with computerized imaging systems to create images of the patient’s body.
Requires ARRT certification to apply.
Radiation Therapy
As a student in Radiation Therapy, you'll learn to administer targeted doses of radiation to a patient’s body to treat cancer or other diseases. As the radiation strikes tissue, it produces highly energized ions that gradually shrink and destroy the nucleus of malignant tumor cells.
Requires ARRT certification to apply.
Resources
Employment Opportunities
As a graduate, you have the opportunity to work in your specialized field in health care facilities, while also expanding into areas such as:
- Research
- Health services administration
- Education
- Commercial applications
- Marketing and sales
- Consulting for insurance companies and legal firms
