Medical Imaging Technology
Prerequisites

Before entering the program, students must complete the following minimum prerequisites. Students should consult with their academic advisors for appropriate courses and semester sequence in order to complete prerequisites. Prerequisite courses must be completed by the end of the spring semester prior to entry.  Equivalent prerequisites may be taken at any accredited college or university.  The code “GE” indicates a course that meets the campus’ General Education core.

Approved courses that meet the General Education core can be found at this section of the University College website.

General Education Areas

Core Communication, Two Courses: 
---English Composition (GE)
---Speech Communication (GE)

6 cr.
Cultural Understanding Elective (GE) 3 cr.
Social Sciences - Introductory Psychology (GE) 3 cr.
Arts/Humanities Elective (GE) 3 cr.

2nd Arts/Humanites or Social Science Elective (GE)
(Must have two courses from one of the above areas)

3 cr.

College Mathematics (GE)
(College Algebra & Trig Preferred)

3 cr.
Statistics (GE) 3 cr.

Life and Physical Sciences:
---General Physics*
---Human Anatomy or Human Biology I (GE)
---Human Physiology or Human Biology II (GE)

9 cr.

*Because of professional program curricular changes, the MIT Admissions Committee has determined that physics will be an optional entry requirement for students entering in summer 2016 and beyond; no substitution required.

Radiography
This area is complete for applicants who have earned 55 college credit hours in radiography (Only 41 hours required for entry in the ultrasound track).

Students who received their radiography education without transferable university credit and who have full credentials in radiography (ARRT) may be awarded credit for their credentials and experience and/or may petition to test out of professional radiography courses. A copy of the Special Credit Policy is available upon request. Each applicant will be evaluated individually.

Students must select additional courses in radiography or in areas that support, complement, or extend their radiography background if they lack 40 semester hours of earned college credit in radiography.

Suggested Elective  (If necessary) A total of 88.0 credit hours are needed before entering the Bachelor of Science in Medical Imaging Technology Program; 74 credit hours for those entering the ultrasound track.  It is unlikely that a student applying to this program will need any elective credits. Courses from a university based radiography program and special credit awarded by credential/experience will be used to meet the minimum hour’s requirement.
