Description:

Our 50-credit all-online master's program is specifically designed for any registered technologist who holds an associate's degree. It's the only direct pathway from an AS to MS in radiologic and imaging science in the U.S. The program not only gives you a distinct advantage in the next stages of your career, it saves you from spending many thousands on a bachelor's degree. You will take the undergraduate bridge courses first and then you can take your master's-level courses in any order that fits your schedule. Upon graduation, you will be well positioned to ascend to higher roles in research, leadership, or education within radiologic and imaging sciences. The program starts in fall, spring, and summer.
