Bachelor of Science (BS) in Imaging Sciences Curriculum

Program Objectives

Our Bachelor of Science in Imaging Sciences program offers an opportunity for registered radiologic technologists to advance their careers.  

The program prepares imaging professionals for professional advancement, leadership roles, education and research.

This program provides you with the knowledge, skills and professional competencies to perform advanced-level imaging in specialized areas including: 

  • Cardiac-interventional (CI) 
  • Computed tomography (CT) 
  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) 
  • Vascular-interventional (VI) 
  • Other advanced imaging modalities 

You will complete the training required to be eligible for post-primary pathway to certification in Computed Tomography, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Cardiac-Interventional Radiography or Vascular-Interventional Radiography offered by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (AART). 

An entry-level Magnetic Resonance Imaging track is available to students who are not licensed in radiography or nuclear medicine. 

Licensure or eligibility for accreditation in the practice of medical radiation technology by the Illinois Emergency Management Agency is not required for successful completion of the MRI track. MRI is a non-ionizing imaging modality.  

The MRI entry-level track is recognized as an MRI primary-pathway educational program by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists.
