Undergraduate Majors

With more than 40 majors to choose from, our curriculum offers you unparalleled opportunity to pick your path and find the right fit for you, whether you’re interested in Natural Sciences and Mathematics or Social Sciences, or Humanities like History and English are more your style. 

Many of our majors also offer opportunities for internships and co-ops both locally and nationally, study abroad and service learning, where you make real-world impact on your community.

If you’re not sure which major is right for you, you’re not alone. Many incoming students aren’t sure with path is the right one—which may be why many of our first-year students choose our Exploratory Studies Program. Through Exploratory Studies, you’ll learn more about what each major has to offer, and whether it’s right for you.

Why study Advanced Medical Imaging Technology : Magnetic Resonance Imaging?

The Advanced Medical Imaging Technology (AMIT) Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) certificate program provides an avenue for post-baccalaureate students who are unable to pursue a second baccalaureate or an advanced degree.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a technique that uses a magnetic field and radio waves to create detailed images of the organs and tissues within your body.  These techniques are used to diagnosis disease and analyze human anatomy.

The program is 12 consecutive months in duration.  Through a combination of classroom, online learning, and clinical instruction, students will be taught the specific skills needed for entry-level positions in MRI. You may also choose to study the second modality (Nuclear Medicine Technology) for an additional 12 month curriculum.

Upon completion of the professional curriculum, certificate students are eligible to sit for national board exams, a necessity in nearly all healthcare fields. It is our goal to supply you with the necessary level of training and experience to adequately prepare for these examinations.

For additional program details including program outcomes, the program's mission and vision, and more please visit the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) program page. 

Career Possibilities

Advanced Medical Imaging Technology program graduates are employed in hospitals, medical centers, outpatient clinics, and research facilities. Advancement in this field may involve promotion to supervisory and administrative positions, equipment and pharmaceutical sales, product support, and teaching.

Most full-time MRI Technologists work about 40 hours a week. They may, however, have evening, weekend or on-call hours. Opportunities for part-time and shift work also are available.
