Advanced Medical Imaging Admissions

The online Bachelor of Science in Advanced Medical Imaging is divided into two distinct phases: pre-advanced medical imaging and a modality year. You must complete the admission requirements for both phases.

Pre-Advanced Medical Imaging

As a pre-advanced medical imaging student, you will complete prerequisite courses and secure a clinical site for your chosen modality.

To be considered for the pre-advanced medical imaging phase, you must:

* Students must view the webinar before connecting with a student success coach.

Advanced Medical Imaging Modality Year

The modality year takes place in your final year of the program. Here, you will be fully admitted to the advanced medical imaging program and complete modality-specific courses and clinical experiences.

To apply for the modality year, you must:

  • Have earned a minimum of an associate degree from an accredited institution.
  • Complete or in-progress pre-advanced medical imaging courses.
  • Have secured a clinical site before the program application deadline.
  • Hold an ARRT (R) imaging credential if you are pursuing the interventional radiology modality.
  • Hold an ARRT (R), ARRT (RT) or NMTCB imaging credential if you are pursuing the computed tomography modality.

*Students interested in financial aid are encouraged to apply one month prior to these posted deadlines.

Program Application Deadlines

To be eligible for the advanced medical imaging modality year and clinical experiences, you must secure a clinical site and submit your application materials by March 1 for fall semester clinical experiences.

Clinical experiences are a capstone of the advanced medical imaging program. These experiences are conducted in your local area, prepare you for licensure exams and give you hands-on experience in the industry. You are expected to find and secure your own clinical site by using resources provided by the program.

Application deadlines ensure an appropriate clinical site is approved in time for your first clinical experience course, which happens in your final year of the program.

Application Process Overview

Step 1: Apply to Boise State University

To apply to the university, you must complete Boise State’s undergraduate application.

  • In the Semester and Major section of the application, indicate you are interested in taking courses “Entirely through online delivery.”
  • In the Semester and Major section of the application, select your academic area of interest from the major drop-down list.
  • If you know which modality you want to pursue, make your selection from the “Select Modality Track” options.
Step 2: Submit Official Transcripts

Submit official transcripts from every previous college and university you have attended. If you have served in the military, please submit your Joint Services Transcript and/or Community College of the Air Force transcript.

If you have graduated with a bachelor’s degree, you are only required to submit your official transcript from the accredited college or university that granted your degree. Transcripts from additional colleges or universities where you have earned credit, but not a degree, are not required to apply for admission. However, if you plan to transfer credits for prerequisite courses, you may need to submit additional transcripts to prove that you have completed these courses.

If your degree is from Boise State, you do not need to submit a transcript.

Please note: Official transcripts must be RECEIVED by the admissions office by the application deadline.

Step 3: Enroll as a Pre-Advanced Medical Imaging Student

After being accepted to Boise State University, you will begin the first phase of the program as a pre-advanced medical imaging student. Here, you will complete the following requirements:

  • University Foundations courses (general education)*
  • Prerequisite courses*
  • Associate degree*
  • Advanced medical imaging courses
  • Imaging electives
  • Secure a clinical site

Items marked with an asterisk (*) may be completed through previously earned transfer courses.

The program requires approval for exceptions to the requirements above. To gain program approval, you must send documentation — which may include official transcripts and a syllabus — to your advisor after you have been admitted into the Pre-Advanced Medical Imaging program.

Create a Degree Plan

During the pre-advanced medical imaging phase, you will work closely with your academic advisor to create a degree plan. This plan includes a timeline of when you will begin your modality-specific courses and clinical experience. It will also determine the deadlines for securing your clinical site and applying for the modality year.

Step 4: Apply to the Modality Year

After completing your required coursework and confirming your clinical placement site, you will apply to your modality year.

To apply to the modality year, you must complete the advanced medical imaging program application. This application includes the following:

  • Confirmed clinical site placement, including an interview
  • Proof of current medical professional credentials, if applicable
  • Resume and statement of purpose outlining any patient care experience

To learn more about these application steps, visit the program resource site in Canvas and access module 12.

Please note: The Canvas program resource site is only accessible to students who have been admitted to the pre-advanced medical imaging phase.
