Program Objectives

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

The program offers the radiologic technologist an opportunity for advancement in employment and prepares advanced medical imaging technologists for professional leadership roles. 

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

  • 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 Computered Tomography, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Cardiac-Interventional or Vascular-Interventional 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.
