Advanced Medical Imaging Classes and Scheduling

Plan Your Future

Advanced medical imaging courses are fully online and in-person clinical requirements can be completed in your local area. Synchronous opportunities are available for students desiring real-time interaction. You can complete the advanced medical imaging degree program in as few as one to three semesters.

The online Bachelor of Science in Advanced Medical Imaging is an associate to bachelor’s degree completion program. Please review our pre-advanced medical imaging pathway if you do not meet the program’s admissions requirements and are working to complete an associate of arts or associate of science degree OR have a regionally accredited degree but not an imaging credential.

Content on this page is provided as a quick reference for planning your academic schedule. All official course descriptions and degree requirements are published on the undergraduate catalog site.
