lectures and 1:1 or 1:2 during clinical experiences. The MRI program comprises seventy-two (72) weeks of full-time study. The program is offered twice per calendar year. The curriculum encompasses all magnetic resonance imaging technology principles, including 246 hours of general education instruction, 620 hours of technical didactic instruction, and 1,020 hours of supervised clinical experience. The program is based on the parameters suggested by the Joint Review Commission on Education in Radiologic Technology (JRCERT), the Association of Educators in Radiologic Sciences (AERS), and the American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT). In addition, the MRI program integrates general education components to complementtechnicalcourses. The program consists of six (6) 12-week modules. Students will take General Education courses up to 24 hours per week during the first two (2) program modules.

Occasional Saturday/Sunday clinical hours will be required to complete clinical hours. The expected program completion time is seventy-two (72) weeks, excluding holidays and vacation times. The curriculum provides our students with the general education, technical, clinical, and interpersonal skills necessary to succeed in this challenging field. An Associate of Science Degree is awarded upon program completion.
