MSRS Degree Emphases

Radiologist Assistant (RA) Emphasis

Certified and registered radiologic technologists have the opportunity to complete specialized education as mid-level practitioners, which qualifies them to perform procedures and suggest diagnoses as physician extenders, caring for patients who receive radiologic services. 

Upon graduation, you will be eligible to take the national certification exam and become certified and registered as an RRA through the ARRT.

The application deadline for priority acceptance is May 1. Applications submitted after this date are still considered until July 1. Radiologist preceptors must be identified by July 1, or enrollment will be deferred to the following year.

Applications for fall 2027 enrollment are now open.

Medical Imaging Leadership (Virtual)

Focused on elevating imaging professionals and patient care, this emphasis will provide you with the diverse, customized skills and knowledge necessary to connect imaging practices with policy.

You can complete the Medical Imaging Leadership emphasis in a virtual format, with monthly classes on Zoom, a set schedule, and additional online coursework.

Application deadlines for priority acceptance are:

  • March 1 for summer semester admission
  • May 1 for fall semester admission
  • November 1 for spring semester admission

We accept applications beyond these deadlines as space is available. Applicants may apply while completing their bachelor's degree or imaging certification.
